Thread: Unpasting pasteds

I`d use the Belvoir saddle/tack cleaner Step 1. It doesnt leave any residue or have any adverse effects on the leather and stitching, but it cleans effectively. Any decent saddlery should have it.

Tony, I tried boiling my strop in an ammonia solution for 30 minutes, thinking that might help, but now the leather is green and curling and the paddle is falling apart... Would your warantee cover this?

I ended up cleaning it with a thick saddle soap lather and toothbrush. I can tell there's some paste residue still on it, but I'm going to try using it for regular stropping and see how it goes.

Thanks for all the suggestions,
Josh

let it dry and clean it again using a washcloth (different type of scrubbing action so it will pull out some more paste that survived the toothbrush).
