How to Waterproof Leather : How Waterproof Can Leather Be??

Are you curious about whether you can waterproof your leather goods? Waterproofing is best done in the tannery, but aftermarket solutions can provide varying degrees of water resistance.
**PRO-TIP**
Always apply some product to a small test spot in a discrete area of your craft. Wait until it dries and see if there is any discoloration, staining, or other negative effects. If the test spot is satisfactory, go ahead and apply the product to the rest of your leather item.

This is probably a dumb question 🙈😅If you use an after-market waterproof spray/product on your leather bag or shoes, do you still need to condition the leather from time to time? Or does the spray truly protect the leather that it doesn't even need conditioning at all?
It it is waterproof or water repellant, I can't fathom how it'll take in the conditioner? 🤔

[@teufel75]

The water protectant spray is not permanent and is helps the leather resist water, liquids, stains, and oils on the skin. It is not permanent and it doesn’t waterproof, only helps it resist. These sprays should be applied every 2-3 months. The best time to condition your leather is each time before you spray it.

Sometimes, you can use wax, which will do both

Will a leather that has been waterproofed during tanning have a different look to the same leather that has not been waterproofed? Thanks!

[@chaoticgood8645]

Is it possible to fix watermarks at all? Like with a polish that I could apply?

[@judybass6750]

Watermarks on Aniline leather can be removed with Aniline Cleaners and Protectors

Can leather, in snow boots, be made to be salt-proof?

[@1910anahi1979]

Is that how its called? After party after market product? I can not find it on Amazon

[@teufel75]

Just look up leather protector spray. There are hundreds of brands on the market. What is available depends on your country. I use Saphir on my really expensive leather (it’s really pricy unfortunately) and Cadillac on my less expensive leather.
