Can it be used on antique leather-bound books?

Since many leather-bound books are bound with leather that has been dyed or treated by some form of preservative (old or new), I would NOT use this product on my books, as it will react with most treated/dyed leathers resulting in a substantial degree of darkening or mottling. I used it on a few undyed knife sheaths with no problem, but they were neither old nor dyed. I would ask a librarian or book dearer, who may readily have an answer or at least be able to direct you to someone with more reliable advice.

I use anything soft like cotton rags or old washcloths and squirt the conditioner onto the rag, vice onto the leather. Then, just rub it onto the leather in circular or back and forth motion. It is actually very forgiving to apply and even if the leather looks 'wet' or darker and gets streaky why applying, it all evens out as it is absorbed and dries in. I rub hard to work it into and and really get into the crevices and seams on our furniture and car upholstery. When first applied, it looks like shiny, sticky honey, so don't freak out. It does not dry shiny nor sticky. Depending on the type of leather and the condition and temperatures, give it at least an hour or two to soak in. If you have older leather that has never been conditioned, think of it like skin that gets dried out-- literally and figuratively. It may take 2 or 3 applications to get it rehydrated. Applying it liberally the first time or two on our antique pieces seemed to work best. Also, this only works on REAL leather! Not patent leather, not pleather, not vinyls.

You could. It would likely soak the leather in wax which will have a permanent preserving and aesthetic change.

Yes! It will clean, moisturize, and soften the leather leaving behind a pleasant scent. It can be used on just about everything that is genuine leather.

I would assume it could be - the liquid itself is clear. I used it on beige leather, and although it didn't get out the denim stains, there was no additional damage to the leather.

In my opinion, I wouldn't use this product on anything because it does not work. Call Rust-Oleum for the most educated response for use on leather.

I've never tried it on leather. You might test it on an old pair of shoes, or on the underside of a cushion.

I use it on my leather including shoes and handbags. This is a really great product and I have been happily using it for years.

I would assume so. I have used it on cow and deer leather without any problems. I wouldn't think twice about using it on any leather...okay, probably not suede. :)

I honestly do not know about leather books. I have used it on my leather Franklin Planner Day Timer because it was looking worn from wear, it did restore some of the color and luster to the leather.

It may, if it doesn't penetrate the leather. I typically rub it well with my fingertips, and as the others have said...let it dry at room temperature, then simply wipe it with a cloth.

I can't help you. I bought this to repair a leather office chair. Doesn't stick well to leather. Thin, but seem strong. I think it is made to repair books bindings. So, to repair paintings, i'd have to be concerned about the tape glue causing issued with the painting or the backing.

I've used it on leather and even suede. It works very nicely. Sorry it took me forever to answer you.:)

If it is leather, yes it can be used on it. I have also used this on canvas shoes without any problems.

I would not use this for that purpose. There are lots of leather cleaning and treatment products available.

I have used it on book covers and other damageable surfaces with good results. It really matters what type of label you are dealing with more than what the label is stuck to, as some labels are difficult to remove as they age and the adhesive dries out.

I could not say. Find a test spot. I bought Vectra recently because I learned about it for designer shoes many years ago. I used it this time on leather furniture. You may find many other uses.
