The question's been asked before I've wondered myself - what IS in Proofide?

Well, I spent a day surfing the net for info and found a picture of the large, 40gram tin of Proofide - ingredients listed on the lid.

Duh. Or as my 13 year old nephew says, "durrrrrrrrr!"

Here they are, in the order they appear on the tin:
Tallow, Cod oil, Vegetable oil, Paraffin wax, Beeswax, Citronella oil

I wouldn't know how to go about determining if they're listed highest to lowest percentage but you could probably get a lab to do that or figure it out by trial and error.

There ya' go.

Great!!! Thanks for that. Closish to Dubbin, also tallow and wax.

What, are you trying to make your own?

- just installed a new saddle today (black B17)... i used Snoseal from a can i've had around for ages... applied to the bottom, heated in by the sun, applied a layer on top, rubbed in, and i'm good to go!

- by the way, either my ass has gotten harder or the saddle was pre-softened, because the test ride for an adjust was smooth!

- i'm going to like riding on a Brooks saddle again! (last time was in 1979)...
