There are certain steps you must take depending on the situation...Originally posted by P88
1) Ensure that the overlay is genuine leather.
Some sellers/ manufacturers claim the exterior is leather. True test is putting a flame to the "skin" for 3 seconds. If it burns, then sorry its not genuine after all.
2) Once you've confirmed its genuine leather, you need to remove the stickiness first. This "sticky" feel is actually the glue used to paste the leather on the structure, permeating to the surface due to our climate.
3) After removing the glue, you'll need to find a way to re-glue the leather underside again becuz most of the glue has migrated to the surface. If you dont, the leather will not stick to the box in the long run.
4) Re-glue would require a day to dry. Now you can use the leather oil.
