This may also be the reason why so many say not to apply to the top side!
Actually I noticed that more people say not to apply it at the bottoms....
I apply it to both top and bottom, but do the bottoms much less than the tops, like only when the saddle is new and rarely after that as the bottom tends to really drink up the stuff when you apply it.
