Kimwcook, You are correct. I do not put leather wraps on my leverguns.

I only oil the cover as needed very ...

Cash you are right. Watch out for how much you put on the flesh side of the leather. It will drink it up a leach through to the tanned side and ruin you rig. Always oil from the outside in.

The TWS is like a coating. It is not a penitrative type of treatment. It goes on a dries. :wink:

Will a coat of olive oil work on a brand new rig without hurting anything? It sounds like an old squeaky door when I put it on and walk around. :? If you have a quality rig, olive oil will work fine.

Just about anything you put on rough out leather is going to darken the leather. Rough out is difficult to take care of because that is the flesh side and work like a sponge!
