In Reply to: Water proofing boots. posted by JayinNY on February 27, 2013 at 16:55:02:
I've been trying to find a good waterproofer for leather boots for 40 years. Mink oil/Neatsfoot are not waterproofers at all. They are conditioners to soften leather. The various sprays and thin liquids all appear to be some sort of cruel joke perpetrated by rubber boot makers who take some diabolical delight in people with cold, wet feet and ruined $1-300.00 boots. :lol:
The waxy products, Sno Seal, Hubbards, etc. seem to work better. But I find little real difference between a proper application of Sno-Seal and the same application of Bag Balm. It's got to be the beeswax. Warm leather soaks it up. It works as good or better than anything else. Lots cheaper too. I've also used other bag balm type products like Udder Butter and Corona and they work pretty good too if they are waxy enough.
I've also used a hoof dressing that contains bees wax and pine tar. Works just as well as Bag Balm/Sno-Seal but SWMBO objects to the smell. It's also relatively expensive, just like everything else sold for horses.
