FAQs
How often should I apply Hestra Leather Balm?
Apply the balm every few months, or when the leather starts to feel dry. Regular use will help maintain your gloves' performance.
Can I use Hestra Leather Balm on any type of leather?
Hestra Leather Balm is recommended for goatskin and cowhide leather gloves. Always check the glove's care label for specific instructions.
What should I do if my gloves get wet?
Let the gloves dry naturally, away from direct heat. Once dry, apply the Hestra Leather Balm to restore suppleness and water resistance.
How should I store my gloves?
Store your gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
What if I apply too much balm?
If you apply too much balm, the leather may not breathe properly. Wipe off any excess with a clean cloth.
Will the balm affect the color of my gloves?
Yes, the balm may darken the leather, especially lighter colors. Test on a small area first.
How long does it take for the balm to dry?
Allow the gloves to dry naturally, which may take a few hours to a day, depending on the amount applied and environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel stiff after applying the balm.
Apply less balm next time and ensure the gloves are drying properly, away from heat. Use a clean cloth to remove any excess balm.
The leather has darkened significantly after application.
This is a common effect, especially on lighter leathers. If the darkening is undesirable, test the balm on a small, hidden area of the glove before applying to the whole surface.
