Glad I checked out the comments before suggesting this. Since using Vaseline on my threads and caps, I no longer have trouble opening glue unless it is the very first time I open it.
Surely we have learned a lot and the recipe for beeswax with neutral oil is excellent and it is very simple and practical from Panama my most sincere greetings 👍👍😃
Great tips, thank you! I love your work and as an amateur hobbyist, I am constantly learning from your videos. Another tip I picked up along the way to avoid getting the lid of the glue pot stuck is to store the container upside down. Works like a charm for rubber cement.
Hey ! Pas plus tard qu'hier soir je me demandais ce que tu devenais justement ! Bien content de te revoir en vidéo et de me citer dans cette "tips video" ! J'espère que tout roule pour toi !
Merci beaucoup David! J'ai pris du temps pour moi dernièrement car le travail et la vie était très prenante. J'espère pouvoir repartager plus de contenu bientôt. Encore merci pour ton tips et pour les gants que tu m'as envoyé - comme tu peux le voir dans la vidéo ils me servent très régulièrement ;)
@@JamesBerry t'as bien raison de prendre du temps pour toi ça fait du bien ! Si t'as besoin de gants hésite pas à me le dire, j'en récup régulièrement (je consomme comme un cochon), je t'en enverrai :)
Great tips, how does Fiebings Aussie leather treatment compare to Saphir renovateur? I think its a similar product. Here in the US Fiebings is a lot cheaper. In the UK the french products may be cheaper. A question: your other video showed 1 to 5 beeswax to neatsfoot oil. This one you said 40% beeswax 60 % neatsfoot oil. Which one would you recommend?
Hi Scott, I'm pleased these tips are useful! I'm afraid I've never tried their Aussie leather treatment so I'm unable to help you in that. Regarding the recipe it really depends if you want a wax or a balm: the wax I make is 3 parts neatsfoot oil and 2 parts wax (60/40), and the balm is 5 parts neatsfoot oil and 1 part wax. Hope this helps :)
I really like your videos and have found a lot of useful info from them. But as a new leather crafter I'm not sure when you would use a leather balm vs wax vs Saphir renovateur?
You just changed my leathercraft game.
Put a thin layer of Vaseline on the threads of your glue pot.

@@JamesBerry You inspire me as a leatherworker, to improve my craft, and as a Canadian, to be as good as you are at both French and English 😁
YES! Great stuff. Thank you very much, Sir; helps a lot.
Thanks Michael, I'm really pleased to hear these help!
For opening glue pots/cans/jars, you can just take a narrow strip of leather, wrap it around the lid of the container, and twist. Much more efficient.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try this first next time I'm struggling with a pot :)

I use fiebings leather balm I have had amazing results. I do use at least 2 coats. I will try the sapphire when I run out.
