Default Another Holster Care question

I know Connolly Hide Care or lanolin is the best.
I have two holsters that are nice on the outside but VERY dry on inside. Do I rub the stuff on the inside too or just leave it alone?

Lanolin is good for leather. I apply it everywhere. My holsters are happy.

I would not put anything "inside"; add a little paste to any dirt present and you have a nice abrasive.
Now if you don't put a pistol inside-ever- it does not matter. JMHO.

I would not put anything on the inside. When I treat my holsters with Connollys/lanolin I heat them slightly and then rub in the product. I believe heating opens up the leather pores and allows for deeper treatment. Bill
