STEP TWO: Conditioning and Softening

STEP TWO: Conditioning and Softening
This step merely requires an application of one or two coats of SOFFENER Leather Conditioner and a waiting period of 24 hours. Apply SOFFENER Leather Conditioner with a brush to the clean and dry surface. If absorption of the SOFFENER Leather Conditioner seems rapid in some areas, apply another coat in these areas. Allow to absorb in the leather for 24 hours.
For best results, the temperature in which you work should be 70°F or higher. After 24 hours, remove any surface residue with a damp cloth.
Working with a bucket of warm water, rinse out a turkish towel and wring it tightly to remove most of the water. Wipe the surface of the leather briskly to remove any oil still remaining on the surface. Repeat this process (changing water if necessary) until the entire surface has been wiped down.
IMPORTANT: ALLOW THE DAMP LEATHER TO DRY COMPLETELY — AT LEAST 24 HOURS — BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT STEP.
If the leather needs sewing, the application of SOFFENER Leather Conditioner first will enable the leather to be restretched easily and sewn with less fear of further tearing.
