The bad stuff is called "neatsfoot oil compound" and it's darker, has a different odor. It's ok for barnyard boots and the like, but should never be used for nice leather goods .

This may end up being a complete joke because I can't sew my way out of a wet paper bag but I'm going to try putting on a set of these covers because they just seem like one of those perfect things. I do, however, not see how they could improve on shellaced cloth tape, as those have the benefit of being austere and cheap, and as far as I can tell having had them on one bike for mannny years, nonbiodegradability. But I'm gonna the sew-ons just for sh!ts and giggles anyway. Good show.
