WATER? Is the WORST thing on Planet Earth to put on ANY vintage leather! WARM water is WORSE than WATER!!! Then direct sunlight? This would be like pouring SALT on a garden slug! DO NOT DO THIS!!! EVER!!!

Jerry: I'm with you on the water issue. IS the best method the one I described above: dry heat....acetone....Connolly's?
212F, or 350f for 5 minutes, slow cool?
