How to apply DubbinUpdated 23 days ago

To apply natural dubbin to leather boots, start by cleaning and drying the boots thoroughly. Then, gently warm the dubbin and the boots (optional, but helps with absorption) using a hairdryer on low heat. Apply a small amount of dubbin to a cloth and rub it evenly into the leather, working it into seams and crevices. Repeat this process as needed, allowing the dubbin to penetrate for 30-60 minutes before buffing off any excess with a dry cloth. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Clean the Boots:
Before applying dubbin, ensure your leather boots are clean and dry. Use a brush or cloth to remove any dirt or debris. 

2. Apply Dubbin:
Apply a small amount of dubbin to a clean cloth or sponge. 

3. Rub Dubbin into the Leather:
Gently rub the dubbin into the leather, working it into the seams, stitching, and any areas prone to water damage. Dubbin wax will leave an oily film on the leather, so use it sparingly to avoid making a mess. 

4. Repeat and Allow to Absorb:
Repeat the application process as needed, ensuring the dubbin is spread evenly. Allow the dubbin to penetrate the leather for 30-60 minutes. 

5. Buff and Polish (Optional):
After the dubbin has had time to absorb, buff the boots with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess and reveal a subtle shine.
