As I have said, I pour off the mineral spirits if it accumulates. Shake the jar vigerously untill it is a smooth creamy consistancy.

I use a toothbrush for application. Works really well. Just get a bit on and work the brush over the area you want to treat.

As Tom says heat will allow the cream to absorb more quickly. I just let the piece sit in a warm room for an hour or so or untill you can see most of the whitish cream is gone.

I then use a terry cloth towell to wipe off the excess lanolin left on the surface and polish the leather. Terrycloth picks up the residue better than plain cloth.

One problem with Peccard's that I have observed on many holsters that come thru my shop is that it pools under straps, buckles & other parts that are layered. It 's sticky gooey petroleum jelly and I hate the stuff. I am sure it has it's applications but Connolly's is a much better product.
