I have a full length leather duster here. It's starting to feel kind of dry
and not as supple as it used to be. What oils should I use on it, if any? It's
not suede, it feels kind of pebbly.

Wayne, this sounds very similar to my fiesta grill which was purchased from
home depot a couple years back. The v shaped metal over the H burner is called
the flavor bars, and takes the place of the lava rocks that used to be used.

RJ that sounded like a well planed parts list for the job, and also a
great one done. It is always nice to know there is heat when power fails.

Lee,
The heater I purchased was a Mr. Heater 20,000 BTU wall mount or floor mount. I
mounted mine on the wall about 6 inches above the floor. If the heater is to be
used in a garage, they recommend the heater be place no lower than 18 inches.
If the floor feet are placed on the heater, it is

GO to Walmart or Target and check the laundry area, they have a small tube
of cleaner that you put on your iron when it is hot. Read the directions. Be
sure that you get it all off. It does work. however you must be sure to get
it all off. Use and old thick towel,

What kind of surface does your iron have, and do you know what is on it?

Neatsfoot oil or some use mink oil. Let a sighted person try it on a inside
area. Don't get overzealous in applying.
If the leather has been dyed it still might not absorb real evenly.

Both mink and neatsfoot oil can seriously darken some leather, so a good
luggage preservative might be a better bet. Bill Stephan, Kansas City MO

I read two different claims last night. SOme places say to use mink oil, but
Wilson's leather goods recommends something called leather lotion and
discourages the use of things like mink oil. SO I figure I'll take it into them
and see what they say.

Aloha Carl,
I've never made toffee, but I expect it is like cleaning a pan after
making fudge. Usually hot soapy water and a little elbow grease will do it.
Yum yum...

* Condition - after boots have dried, condition them using mink

Hi Ron,
When I built my addition in 1991 I did it on a wood foundation. I did not set
it on a crushed rock base though I could have, this is a common way to do it,
mine is on a poured concrete footing. You lay heavy UV resistance poly down and
assemble floor joists in the usual way over it
Well, Ray sent a great email, so you could just try those suggestions.
I remember using salt to get plastic off of an iron, but it wasn't
one of the teflon coated type. Salt would scratch such a surface.
