In lieu of our move back to one of our other homes we dug out all out Drizza-Bone oil skin dusters (gud-die mite) like 8 or so and was wondering how to treat them? They seam dry. I know oily rags are combustible so we want to use the correct treatment on them.
TIA,
Duke

Check your ranch supply stores. I think they carry the proper sealant.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
I am not sure about "proper" sealants, but we always used neatsfoot oil on our drovers. Worked well back then.
I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone elses blood. I plan to go out the same way.
I have a hard time believing that Filson's Tin Cloth treatment wouldn't bring them right back to spec. It's very commonly available - but also probably very, very similar to neatsfoot oil.

You'll pay a fortune for enough Filson cans to treat them. Use this recipe.

Works great.
Oil skins are flammable. But no where near as bad as synthetics. In my experience welding sparks bounce off tin cloth unless caught in a fold. Sparks go right through synthetics.
Some where between here and there.....
Bingo! That's just what I need and thanks Dan.Originally Posted by redneckdan
Assuming that a person who owns several homes is concerned about cost, here is the dressing for the tin cloth clothing made by Barbour.
Twelve bucks doesn't seem bad ...

That stuff seems more reasonable then the filson stuff. Jen tends to go through it with her work coat. I usually do her's twice a year. I do mine in the spring.
