melt a tin of Proofide with a hair dryer, and for a minute keep swabbing the stuff on the saddle. You need to use the hair dryer on the saddle a little to keep the stuff liquid. It soaks in better if it's liquid. I put extra on the edges to try and discourage wicking.
Hiya Late,
When you say the middle do you mean the middle of the actual seat or the middle of the rails that are clampable? Cause right now the seat is centerered over the post and is clamped near the most foward part of the rails.
And what is wicking?
