Thanks! I'm very happy to add it to my collection!
I pulled out my catalog, the 1988 Holiday catalog lists the color as flannel grey. And the saddlery was available in it!
I'm going to try an old triangle style make up sponge. Mind didn't come with any sponges; I bought a lot of 2 with cracked lids off eBay. I had just been putting it on with my fingers, wearing a glove.
Hey hang in there. Anyone who does this for any amount of time has one go south. Many people really sail through a few and then boom, one really hits the dumper. As was noted, fortunately, for the most part, these bags are hardy and can stand being re-dunked. If you land a really sweet bag, you may want to get a few more rehabs under your belt before you go for that special one.

You can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying.
They don’t contain alcohol. I looked at the MSDS for CPR awhile back. No red flags.
I almost did that! The packaging and sponges were literally in our recycling bins until I saw here that it came with sponges
I’ve applied Renapur before when the bag was damp but almost dry. I just let it soak in and buffed at that state, then left it to dry completely. It was fine.
Good morning, friends! Hope you guys are having a good start to the long weekend. 
My beat up Prairie is done. I had to apply puffy paint on the burst piping and scraped off looking parts to even it out, then acrylic paint over. Turned out as nice as can be, I guess. The hole needed several applications of puffy since it settled after drying.

After:
there was also red ink inside that bled out while it was still damp. It seeped through outside and stained the towel it was sitting on. I blotted it off several times with CPR inside out but couldn’t get all of it out. Oh well! At least it’s on the inside. Overall, I am satisfied with the result

I almost did that! The packaging and sponges were literally in our recycling bins until I saw here that it came with sponges
When I first purchased Renapur, they sent me an email that included telling me not to throw the sponges lmao!!! I guess its a common problem

Has anyone else seen the new Debi the Restorer videos? Is one she uses cuticle remover to get rid of ink stains. I was wondering if anyone has tried it yet; I'm going to go through some of my pile tomorrow and see if I can find a guinea pig!
Interesting! something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Sally-Hansen-Instant-Cuticle-Remover/dp/B0046MK34G
Hello. I am attempting to acquaint myself with the process of rehabbing / rescuing vintage coach leather bags. How I got myself into vintage coach is a surprising moment that is a bit of a blur. Yet I am happy to be here, reading and hoping to apply the information learned. There is a carousel bag, 9942 that has developed a tear, and what I thought was unsewing may actually be another tear. It is at the same end on opposite sides from one another. I've read some people have suggested reinforcement leather, leather glue, E6000 when discussing tears. I would appreciate a look at the images and suggestions as the best way to tackle this. Thank You.
