Leather bag lubricant

[Timon]

Can anyone offer what is the best material to put on a leather rear rest bag to make it slippery. I know silicon spray works well on cordora, but not sure about my leather rear bag. Thanks

Talcum powder works for me. No cancer yet, and a small plastic bottle in the range bag will last for years.

I came up with a mix or 50/50 carnuba powder and ptfe powder. It worked well in humid sticky conditions.

Thanks so much. I had heard of others using powder, but thought I would check with members here.

Have you actually used this product on your leather shooting bags.

Yes. I have super slick coatings on my bags and if the weather causes "stiction" I'll use a little bit of that. Pretty nice stuff.

Would jock itch powder work too?

I just recieved some Sinclair Bag wax that I hoped would be excellent. However it seems gritty rather than slick. Do I need to have the bag conditioned with some other wax to get the powdered bag wax to work?

Talcon powder!...hahaha..bro didn't they pull that product off the market in the 90's?..I think it was causing cancer, or causing people to not sweat and die...
And most of us grew up being lathered in it from dear old mom...
Hahaha..
I took about a 5yr break from shooting..
Ding out my equipment I found my poor leather rest...its nice..I love it and filled it with Sinclair heavy sand..but boy is it ugly right now
Was hoping to find how to fix her up..
I've come up with
3000 grit Emory cloth, then wipe with olive oil, then cover in baby powder..
??..any one??

Remove sand, place in sun, or microwave to warm up. Work in leather conditioner and re-heat. May take several attempts to bring it back.

HBN (boron nitrate) powder works great.

Swallow your pride, and go with used dryer sheets. Not messy and they protect your expensive bag. Just tape them on. A little powder can be added if desired. Some dried out “covid hand wipe” sheets are even slicker.

If your ego won’t let you be seen using them at a match, at least you can use them for load work up and practice, when no one is watching, and save you bags that much wear

Lume for the win. You can put it on your bag, under your bag, in your bag. Stops those annoying bag odors...too!!!
