>>>My vintage lambskin bag has scuffs on the edges.
Since the scuffing is unknown, we have to assume that it has dry-rotted through body contact contamination and the structure integrity had compromised. Since repairs need to be done with refinishing as an option it is wise to restore it holistically through this sequence of process: Degreaser-2.2 > Acidifier-2.0 > Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 > Dry-Prep > Impregnator-26 > Bond-3D > Bond-7A > Aniline-76 > AnilineTop-76G > Protector-B/B+.
>>> and breaks on the leather entwined in the chain.
Tear or breakage indicates dryness of the leather from the original 15% of fatliquor (fat and oil) contends. When the fatliquor dries up the leather tensile strength suffers. Leather rejuvenating with Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 to bring up the percentage of fatliquor re-strengthens the leather. A stitch often need to hold the tear or split and fill over with Bond-3D > Bond-7A for added strength and aesthetic accordingly.

Hi Roger,
Thank you for your reply.
I still have items from the previous kit and some items on the way:
2 bottles Hydrator
2 bottles Fatliquor
Degreaser 2.2
Acidifier 2.0
Rinse 3.0
Aniline 76G
Protector B
May I just order the other items ala carte?
Bond 3D
Bond 7A
Dry Prep
Impregnator
Aniline 76
I hope i did not miss anything?
Will there be a black dye of some sort to touch up the leather?
Can i just work on the scuffed edges of the bag instead of doing the whole bag?
Thank you.
