Concertina Care....

[John Adey]

Could any one please discribe what you use regarding it´s condition? Here I found a very hard version, that would be rubbed in a cloth and than applied and polished later. There is a sort of creamy thing, like tooth-paste. That usually has an integrated sponge which would help applying. Third thing would be something like liquid, like water.

Two other versions I wouldn´t count, they´re called "leather soap" and "leather fat/oil" - I know that from saddle care and think they wouldn´t do the job at all.

 

Is there any ingredience that souldn´t be in there at all? Maybe that´s the easiest way to find something appropriate...

 

thanks for answering

In a fairly recent (about 6 months ago) conversation with Colin Dipper, he advised the use of a very small amount of 'Parade' shoe polish , made by Kiwi, on the bellows, about once a year.

Mike Acott recommends the same stuff for the same job.
