If you use a leather goop (such as Obenauf's or Proofide or Huberd's Shoe
Grease or Deacon Patrick's mixture of beeswax and coconut oil), consider
adding a bit of propolis paste to it. Propolis is a bee product that fights
bacteria and rot. You can rub it into your saddle, dab it on road rash,
Sounds … uh … yummy.

As other's stated, Berthoud Bags are not waxed. Doesn't mean you can't.
But, it will change the feel and look of the bag.
Regarding the technique...

Dear Eric,
The Berthoud bags aren't waxed. The differential fading on the canvas is
part of its charm. However, the leather should be kept treated.
I've historically used sno-seal or Obenaufs. Blow-dry the bag enough to
heat the leather a bit, then carefully apply to the piping and edging.

Alan, I've used both Proofide and raw neatsfoot oil on leather. Both of
these make the leather softer, but evaporate quicker than a product like
Obenaufs.

I thought the swelling of the tgreads upon getting wet is what keeps water out?

Has anyone tried the Brooks saddle conditioner Proofide on the leather
parts? Se
use of leather treatment and canvas wax is a supposed-to-do thing, because
the waxes that preserve and waterproof both evaporate over time.

Would love to see what the beausage looks like. Just curious. Is the stiffener

I have both Martexin and Otter Wax - the former is better for touch-ups
because it's smooth paste - Otter is better for widespread treatment, but
it's a lot more work.

Martexin for the canvas

using a hair drier after application of Martexin, and rubbing the hot/wet
helps to wet
Thanks!

I should mention that to combine the beeswax and coconut oil, I do a cheep
double boiler system of a cast iron skillet filled half full with water,
place an old glass jar with the beeswax in it in and put on medium heat
till it boils. Put the bag in the oven at 200-250˚F. Then work the wax oil
For the leather: coconut oil and beeswax combined is fantastic.
For the canvas: don't wash in the washing machine. Damp cloth, stiff brush,
and then the same as above, but heavier on the beeswax. Or buy Filson's
re-proofing wax.
With abandon,
Patrick
