    Renapur's Balsam, a fantastic leather product

    For some time I've used Chambers' Leather Balsam for my sporrans and found it very good, albeit that it takes some time to soak in. However, at the Scottish Game Fair this past weekend I discovered Renapur Balsam which is widely used by ghillies, equestrian eventers for tack etc.

    Talk about chalk and cheese, this product is fantastic - immediate results with no residue. Here's my 1930s Anderson's sporran after one quick application. Absolutely first class.

    And a before and after on my doeskin bag.

    Wonderful stuff! I have happily used it for years, on shoes, cartridge bags, gun sleeves, gun cases, rifle slings, leather kilt accessories, saddles, bridles and so on.

    I have found its best to use it sparingly for best effect. Little and fairly often at first and then a wee maintenance coating when needed.
