Obenauf’s LP Boot Preservative
Obenauf’s LP Boot Preservative
Industrial strength leather preservative (lp) was originally developed for protecting and waterproofing firefighters leather work boots. Heavy Duty LP is a leather conditioner made with our natural oil and beeswax formula. This unique Beeswax/Propolis Suspension Formula protects leather against caustic fire retardant chemicals, heat, water, and abrasion. Natural oils in Heavy Duty LP are gradually released into the fibers as a long term lubrication. Heat and flexing cause oils to be released, oiling the leather when it needs it most, making this an excellent leather boot conditioner. Before application, a spot test is recommended because Heavy Duty LP will darken your leather and nubuck. Not recommended for Suede. Made in the USA.
How to apply LP:
Approximately every six to eight weeks, condition your boots lightly. Recommended to apply by hand, as body temperature helps melt LP into the leather. Allow 1 hour between treatments and buff off excess. Two applications will last much longer in severely wet conditions. Not recommended for suede and if color change is a concern.
How to apply Obenauf's® preservatives together: Leather Oil must be applied in the recommended manner before applying Heavy Duty LP.
