I prefer Feibings products to Kiwi because they seem to be made from natural sources moreso than the thin petroleum route. In fact, my dog once ate a whole tub of Feibings mink oil and didn't even get very sick. I'm pretty sure almost every other type of mink oil sold would have killed her. I use this mink oil to rub into leather products I make before sending them out the door. And I use it to make old leather bags more flexible and less likely to break or tear. The smell isn't bad because it doesn't smell like fuel oil. If you're looking to protect your boots, I would recommend Feibing's Snow Proof. It's almost like a soft puck of beeswax that'll really help to waterproof leather better than this mink oil will. My leather products that are rubbed in mink oil still take water into themselves. However, spotting once dry is minimized.Thursday, October 31, 2013
Review of Fiebing MOIL00P006Z Mink Oil Paste
Some things just don't change no matter how high tech the world becomes. One of those things is the fact that mink oil remains the premier product to soften, preserve and protect your leathers. This particular brand is new to me, but I find their mink oil to be superb. I've used it on boots, leather furniture, leather jackets and my car seats. It has a perfect viscosity so that it can be worked over and into the leather very smoothly, especially working it into creases and over stitching that a stiffer consistency wouldn't allow so readily. The container it comes in screws shut securely to help prevent oxidation, but the the container itself arrived in sealed plastic so that it remains as pure and fresh when you open it as the day it was manufactured. I went to their website and see they make a variety of products for leather and especially saddle care. One product contains mink oil, silicone and even vitamin e and is designed to combat repeated wetting/drying cycles that, say, rugged leather boots would encounter. I am happy to see also, that the company is in Wisconsin, USA. Very happy with this mink oil and will probably experiment with some other products they manufacture.
