Btw Ladies what's all this about spitting ? On a Mulberry - surely not !!!
And as for the deep fat fryer *shudders*

Well you can't just batter your bags without frying them afterwards can you?

Did you know that saliva has been proven to be a terribly good cleaning agent in lab tests?

Really ? Gosh you are a fountain of knowledge Jenova ... I've heard that dog saliva promotes healing and that's why dogs lick their wounds and that honey helps wounds to heal also .......I always thought saliva contained lots of bacteria ?
BTW this is toooo early for this type of discussion I've not had my breakfast yet ......sorry ladies for those of you already at work ....this is my weekend as am at work until next Thursday from tomorrow iykwim

Oh no, I was thinking of dry frying or with a squirt of that oil stuff to make it water repellant.

My cooker is not working at the moment and I can't use the microwave because all my bags have metal compents.

Oh don't worry about that, its almost Bonfire Night so the sparks will be purty

corries2 · Oct 22nd, 2009, 05:36 PM

Remember there was the "Annie on the Toilet Floor" thread dealing with patina acceleration amonst other things.

Wonder if Wee Jimmy could tweak his buffing technique IYKWIM

Surely he doesn't live in the loo?

It's a big loo and he gets the run of it all

Jenova · Oct 24th, 2009, 03:24 PM

Hope that he doesn't really have the runs? Take him to the vet if it goes of for more than 24 hours.

corries2 · Oct 24th, 2009, 03:33 PM

Definitely. That would not be good for the patina at all.

Hey ladies... I am wondering if there is a thing for too much water proofing? Tia!

Re: patinas - I've never tried a soft sloth, spitting or frying any bags

- but, I've noticed that after a clean with a leather wipe (mr Sheen, other leather wipes I'm sure are available), oak seems to look a teenier bit darker.... The wipes have lanolin in them, and they help hide any scuffs or scratches.
