Bargain alternatives to neatsfoot/leather dressing?

[Hels_Bells]

I usually oil my tack after cleaning but have run out of oil. It's a miserable day and can't be bothered to got to tack shop for third day in a row... Is there anything in my kitchen cupboard I could use instead??? I have corn oil, olive oil and seseame oil!!?! OR will I ruin my tack in which case I won't bother with oil this time!!!!

Ok have found an answer to my own question via google!!! I think I will just leave it this time!

You oil your tack every time you've clean it?

I have used vegatable oil on mine with good results. I wouldn't oil every time tho as this can rot the stitching x

Don`t know about the "bargain" qualifier..but you cannot beat KO-CHO-LINE..think that`s right.It lasts forever and turns a cracked old bit of leather into something as supple as string in a minute.

Ok I say every time... I mean every time I do a big clean for a comp. The rest of the time I just give it a wipe and bit of effax. Contrary to popular belief I'm not that much of an angel
