1. What is the latest and greatest on mold killing? Is it heat....then acetone cleaning....then Connolly's Hide Care?:

2. Where do you folks stand on the old Connolly's "Hide Food" vs. the new Connolly's "Hide Care" controversy.

3. Are there any opinions regarding a pure lanolin type dressing, such as Tandy's "Dr. Jackson's Hide Rejuvenator"?

I have read that the British Museum at one time dipped the entire leather piece in acetone to kill what was described as "fungus" and then dressed with a "lanolin" dressing. The item was then buffed by hand.
