Thanks mate for info.

In reply to lanolin question:- I tried and used the Aussie product but rang the manufacturer first to see if it was ok to use on saddles.
I dont know who I got on the phone but he told me that the base ingrediants were wool lanolin and white spirit .
I had a tub of pure lanolin ,added a big dollop to a glass jar and filled it with white spirit.
Half a gallon cost me about $6-00 to make and does the same job.
I've thinned it down to use on firearms in storage and so far no problems except that you need white spirit to remove from your firearms
