Leather bag lubricant

[Scott haywood]

Get a 4-6" square piece of the silver material that bag makers use on "Slick" Ears to lay between the ears and let the stock ride.

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

Gynecologist approved!

Coconut oil slicker than greased owl snot also works for case lube.

Are you saying to tape the dryer sheet to the rifle stock?..or lay one in the bag ears and sandwich with stock, and bag..
Thank you

The best I have ever used is Neats Foot Oil.

If you tape it to the bag, when you remove the tape it will leave a mark on the bag. At least mine did and I used 3m tape.

Tape it to the front rest bag, and on the rear bag bunny ears.

Thats the advantage of buying a beat up used bag in the first place.

Lay it between the ears of your rear bag. Or lay it under the fore end and tighten up your front rest adjustments. Used ones work better than new sheets.

Benchrite bag wax seems to work good the few times I've tried it.

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.

Noooooo!...haha..what a mess...I do have the little bag funnel some place..so maybe not such a big dusty ordeal..I could dump it into a steel mixing bowl (I see your point.).to work the oil back into the leather correct?
I hate to sound overly obsessive..none of here are like that..hahaha..is there a way to make the leather all one color like when new...
I was shooting in the rain last and have water marks on the leather..looks like dry salty snow boot lines...or salt marks on a summer t-shirt..like the water swelled the leather
It's nice and broke in...its perfect, just ugly, and not so slippy anymore..
I may just follow your suggestion
Love all these tips...the more you learn, the easier life becomes..
Thanks everyone ..
