Moldy Leather Restoration Possible?
Hello:
Unfortunately, several old World War II vintage leather military holsters have gotten wet. Mold has set in. What actions, if any, can I take to remove the mold and restore the leather? I have been advised to first try obtaining an ultraviolet lamp wand to try to kill off as much of the mold on the surface of the leather. These wands are in use by flood restoration companys. Another recommendation that was made to me was to just throw the holster away...that it the mold could not be removed and the leather restored. Any suggestions? I have tried to attache an image to this message...hopefully it worked.
Thanks!
