Well will try applying it by the rub for a few days.

Would mineral oil work or is it a no no?

might not sound good but you can rub it into your hair when they little bit greasy works a treat

Neatsfoot oil is the perfect medicine for horn scales, after all what is a horn it's very similar to your own nails, so any kind of nail treatment including those nail polishing files our wives use work perfectly on horn.

I don't know, but what i do know is that neatsfoot oil and horn come from the same animal.

I don't know what animal mineral oil comes from.

Thought this information should make the front page as everybody always wants to use the mineral oil where neatsfoot (not neatsfoot compound (which is Spanish for "1 part neatsfoot, 9 parts other")) is the "proper" thing.








okay maybe it's not Spanish.

Local feed barns for neatsfoot oil here, works a treat I soak all horn items for a week at least when I get them

Neatsfoot works wonders on baseball gloves and leather bike saddles too
