Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP Leather Preservative contains a blend of natural oils, beeswax, and propolis that will soften, condition, restore, waterproof, preserve, protect, and beautify smooth leather products, yet the leather is always free to breathe. Propolis (tree resins used by honeybees to weatherproof and disinfect their hives) resists mildew, mold, and bacteria that will attack leather and break it down. The Obenauf's formula is so effective that the Leather Research Laboratory of the University of Cincinnati has rated Obenauf's #1 over all others for the most complete and best leather protection available.
Applying Heavy Duty LP is very simple and easy. First clean your leather products if they are dirty. Then apply Heavy Duty LP with your fingertips and rub it into the leather. The Heavy Duty LP is solid at room temperature, but will melt instantly from the touch of your fingers. Heavy Duty LP's natural oils will gradually release into the leather fibers as long-term lubrication. Body heat and continued flexing of the leather cause the oils to be released faster and they will travel into the areas of the leather that need them most. If you like, buff with a cloth or soft brush and your leather will become beautiful and very natural looking (no artificial gloss). Heavy Duty LP is also an excellent edge dressing for leathers and will enhance burnishing without the fake, glossy look of gum tragacanths and varnishes.
Also available from Obenauf's is Obenauf's Leather Oil, which is the same formulation in a liquid form that is applied with a dauber or cloth. Leather Oil is especially convenient for the insides of holsters (which the fingertips cannot reach) or for leather products with many seams (such as moccasins) or perforations (such as brogues).
