in admitting his shellac problem, and encourage him to bring it up
again if he needs to.

Thanks for all your responses.
I have a saddle cover, but between switching bags and gear, it ended up not
on the ride with me. This particular saddle has been out on some pretty wet
rides recently, and I'm afraid it's ending up being the "foul weather"
saddle, and therefore sort of a tester. I

Hey Jim,
I'm not a leatherworker, but hey, I got an opinion. I'd be a bit wary

I use Nikwax aqueous wax. It is used for waterproofing smooth leather
(boots, generally), without making the leather soft. Works great.
