I mentioned in a recent post that I had found an old pair of my combat boots and that I'm refurbishing them. I've experienced a couple of minor setbacks. One of the cracks isn't filling in as well as I'd like. No worries, I'm moving forward and accepting that one. The other one is that, after sanding some areas down to bare leather, the shoe polish alone was not enough to blacken the leather. After about ten coats of polish, I've decided that I'm going to re-strip the boots and dye the leather.
To reiterate, I'm not worried about this. The boots are old and were in very poor repair when I started this project, and I have no timeline. This is about learning stuff. I'm reasonably confident that my finished product will meet my expectations. Either way though, feel free to wish me luck.
