Review on Fiebing's Leather Balm with Atom Wax 32oz - Superior Wax Top Finish for Leather Care by Mike Ramani

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Recommended but best used for harder leathers (belts, saddle/bridal leather) and not for softer ones.

Observation: Less viscous than I expected, more like whole milk than a creamy texture. It dries to a sticky, dull film that requires an elbow to buff. Effort is required to bring the finish to the desired shine and smoothness. Ideal for multi-layer, stackable, classic hard wax finishes. I used it on a worn but very stretchy chrome-tanned lady's handbag and had to make an alarming effort to polish it. Lesson learned: Use this on tougher, more abrasion resistant leather that you want to give a nice waxy shine.
