Thread: Boot care and jacket treatment

a little of the subjectbut i used kiwi oxblood (dark red) nugget to colour the stock on my old .303-numerous coats of polyurethane rubbed back between coats over the top and 30yrs +shes still a handsome beastiie-so much so ive got a 12g sxs and my .223 with its chinese varnish finish who may when im bored get the same treatment.Might sound dickheadish but hell it works and i like it-annnnnd if any cunt nicked it its pretty well identifiable by me.mind you all of mine have somewhere on them a mod or mark made by me and known only to me to cover that possibility.
for those in chch if youre in the barrington mall area call into Mr minute lookfor a big bastard name of jase-tell him kotuku theold bastrd sent ya and to give you some advice on how to look after these synthetic materials.Believe me manys the time hes come home and told me of much the same problems as you guys mention on here.quite the funniest are asians who buy a pair of warehouse special sheilas shoes and front him asking for their guccis to be fixed now!!!
he can also direct you to lee at church corner who was trained on boot repairs etcet by and old time cobbler.lee does some shit hot work and trained jase up to his standards.

@Cordite our anyone else tried these water proof socks?
Like the idea by the way Cordite I'll try it out and see how I get on. Just given them a big double spray of silicon seal.

I was poor as a kid, plastic bag inside trainers, yep does the trick. The extra sock outside the plastic bag would have been no good of course as trainers ain't waterproof.
