HI I just bought a Gladstone leather bag at auction but its smells of old house! Could you tell me how to remove the smell from the interior please. I bought your furniture waxes from your amazon shop….amazing 😁
Thank you. I'm not sure how you would remove an unwanted aroma. Maybe you could disguise it by placing a small bottle cap with a few drops of limonene inside the bag, for a few days. ( it has a very intense, but pleasing, citrus scent)
Best wishes

Hi, can this balsam be used on the leather coats or bags? Especially those which made by lamb skin?
Hi Jolie.
Yes it can be used on leather coats and bags. 🙂. Try it on a small area first to make sure you are happy. ✅
Best wishes. Simon
Hi Simon, these recent videos really nice - but I really enjoy the ones where you restore items of furniture, eg the rocking horse. Will you be doing one of these soon?
Hi Kate.
Yes we will be restoring the rocking horse soon. We are in the process of filming the restoration of two stunning Georgian tables at the moment.
I also have a Davenport to do and a lovely George III bureau.
I have to produce these little promotional videos every now and then. They help pay for the big ones. They often cost way over £1,000 for each one. 🙂
I enjoy doing them and I hope there are nice to watch.
Best wishes
Simon
@@GilboysRestoration thank you Simon! I appreciate you need to do the promotional videos - & I like those too. I hadn't realised they cost so much! Glad to hear more in the pipeline!
Why manuka honey over regular honey?
I’m sorry John, I’m not sure I understand?
@@GilboysRestoration sorry spelling mistake
Microcrystalline wax works better, never oxidises, is Sulphur free and is cheaper.... sorry.
Wikipedia:
"Microcrystalline waxes are a type of wax produced by de-oiling petrolatum, as part of the petroleum refining process. Microcrystalline waxes are derived from the refining of the heavy distillates from lubricant oil production."
"This by-product must then be de-oiled at a wax refinery. Depending on the end use and desired specification, the product may then have its odour removed and colour removed (which typically starts as a brown or dark yellow). This is usually done by means of a filtration method or by hydro-treating the wax material..."
I don't do any of the above. I have formulated a natural leather conditioner that is kind to nature and the environment as well as being a lovely conditioner for leather.
There will always be cheap products available to buy. We are all conscious of cost. It comes down to individual choice.
Kind regards
Simon
@@GilboysRestoration ...
Yes, Wikipedia is correct.
Microcrystalline waxes are the main ingredient of 'Renaissance' wax polish formulated by the British Museum in the 1950s to overcome the serious problems they were having with beeswax _(oxidation and staining)_ and is now used by almost every museum and Fine Art conservator in the world. It's not cheap but it's more protective, is less reactive and longer lasting than other waxes. Is it not better to make use of a 'waste, by product' than steal from bees?
Sorry... I do understand why you don't like this, but that's how it is.
Not why i subscribed
Hi Tom.
Sorry to read your comment. Every now and then I have to directly market our own products.
I really enjoy making restoration videos but they take a huge amount of my time to do so.
The last video on How to create a limed oak finish was filmed over a number of days. The editing alone was a weeks work.
It is also why we have adverts on our channel. I find them annoying but I have people to pay and a workshop to pay for.
My aim is to make a video every two weeks. As I like doing them and sharing my knowledge. If I had deep pockets it would be lovely. But just like the majority of us on planet earth. I have to make just enough money to enjoy being here.
