How to Apply Klucel-G Leather Consolidant
When you have a scuffed or damaged leather book where the top layer of leather had been damaged you should consider protecting the leather. Apply klucel-g to the damaged area to preserve the leather.

Where can I purchase the Leather Book Care Kit that is mentioned in several classes and on this post?
Please advise.
Thanks,

The Leather Care Kit is being changed (in process) but you can still purchase the Klucel-G, Hewits Leather Dressing, and the SC 6000 on the site.
