Possibles bag pictures
Eric Krewson:
A dying friend gave me all his BP stuff, included were three possible bags complete with horns.
I have them loaded for a particular rifle or fowler and grab the that fits my weapon when I head to the woods.
The one in the picture is for my .44. No matter how I treat the leather it always forms the white mold on the outside over time, it has same mold on the flint wallet inside the bag.
Pat B:
That's a very nice set, Eric.
Could the white be residue from the treatment that was used on the bag? I've seen treatments with bees wax and paraffin leave similar residues. Have you tried saddle soap to eliminate or reduce it?
gifford:
Eric, one of my shootin' bags has a similar problem. I didn't make it so I don't know how the leather was treated.
Pat, I'll give it a try.
I appreciate you pulling this thread back up, there are some awesome bags shown on this thread. My compliments to all those who crafted these superb bags.
Eric Krewson:
I have saddle soaped it and used leather cleaner. It will stay clear for a while then the white will show up again.
I have some Montana Pitch Blend boot dressing I will try next.
The flint wallet turns the quickest.
Pat B:
I use Montana Pitch Blend and haven't noticed it on my leather work.
Have you wiped with a mild chlorox solution? If it is mold that might kill the fungi.
Will you show more pics of your flint envelope?
