Detailed Description of Ways to Use Eagle’s Mink Oil
Each leather type needs different attention and care. Therefore, I have shared three different methods for Eagle’s Mink Oil application to your favorite leather item.
Method 1: Applying With a Sponge/Cloth
Applying the Mink Oil with a Sponge or Cloth is best for equal application. You just need to follow these simple steps to get better results:
◈ Step 1: Prepare the Leather Surface
Start by cleaning your leather surface with a moist cloth to remove dirt. After that, leave it to dry for some time.
◈ Step 2: Add the Mink Oil to a Sponge or Cloth
Next, put a small amount of the oil in the sponge or cloth. Please do not overload as its small amount will be enough for longer service.
◈ Step 3: Move the Sponge in a Circular Motion
Now, rub this mink-loaded sponge or cloth in a circular motion on the surface of the leather. Cover all the surfaces equally, giving special attention to dry or cracked parts.
◈ Step 4: Blend and Buff the leather surface
Blend the extra oil with a dry cloth, then pick another dry and clean cloth to buff the leather surface.
Method 2: Use Your Hand to Apply the Mink Oil
This method is best for those who prefer to do their task with their hands. You can do it by passing through these easy steps:
◈ Step 1: Make Ready the Leather Surface
With a damp cloth, separate all the dirt and debris from the leather surface and allow it to dry for some time.
◈ Step 2: Take the Mink Oil
Put a small amount of Mink Oil on your fingers and keep on adding later on whenever you need it.
◈ Step 3: Warm the Oil in Your Hands
After that, rub the oiled fingers on your palm for a few seconds to warm it.
◈ Step 4: Put the Oil on the Leather
Next, move the oiled palm in a circular motion on the leather surface. Apply it to all the leather surfaces, focusing on the dried and cracked parts.
◈ Step 5: Remove the Excess Oil
Now, use a clean and dry cloth to fix the excessive oil.
◈ Step 6: Leave the Oil to Absorb
Finally, allow the applied leather to absorb overnight for a finished and polished look.
Method 3: Applying the Mink Oil With a Brush
This method of Mink Oil application is best for textured leather. You can use it by following these steps:
◈ Step 1: Ready the Leather Surface
Begin with the leather surface ready by removing all the dust and dirt with a wet cloth. Let the leather dry.
◈ Step 2: Select a Good Brush
Now, choose an appropriate soft-bristled brush that does not damage or scratch the leather surface while applying it. Note: Do not buy a separate brush. You will receive it with the Eagle Mink Oil Kit.
◈ Step 3: Put Mink Oil on the Brush
Next, dip this soft brush in the Mink Oil bottle. Rub the brush against a clean surface and reach to the bristles.
◈ Step 4: Brush the Leather Surface
Now, brush the leather surface with the Eagle Mink Oil in a circular motion. Put an extra layer of oil on the damaged areas.
◈ Step 5: Buff the Leather Surface
After covering the complete leather surface, buff it with a clean cloth to remove excessive oil and increase its shine.
