Hey everybody, I know you're ecstatic about your free saddle and cannot wait to share the news with others ~ i really do understand completely ~ but when it comes to reshaping a saddle WOULD YOU PLEASE LEARN TO USE THE ARCHIVES !!!

When you're done reading THOSE articles, come back with any questions you may still have. And NO, wetting with water is NOT always a good idea since it will mobilize certain types of fibers in the saddle and it's much safer to start out with oils and fats than with H2O wetting on a leather saddle ...
