Oiling the belt

In this video clip I am oiling a leather belt after it has been carved, sewn and edges wax burnished. I am using pure neatsfoot oil heated up for better penetration.

Hello, I have been working on a tooled belt the last few days and I’m trying to figure out at which point to apply Neatsfoot oil. I’ve already dyed the belt after tooling it, and I’ll also be putting a decorative stitch on the belt as well. So at which point should I apply Neatsfoot oil? Should I apply after dyeing (I used Eco flo antique gel) but before stitching? Or should I apply the oil after dyeing and after stitching? Should I have applied the oil before dying but after tooling? Should I not apply it at all on a belt? Thanks

Hello gel antique is not dye and seals the leather grain somewhat so oil before. But if used leather dye, then dye before oil. You can still oil after gel antique . But antique hoes more evenly if oiled first. I hope it helped

Is heating better than straight from the bottle?

[@paveldanko9386]

Yes heating helps more even and deeper penetration, especially the first coat.. Sometimes I don't heat up on the second coat
