Just a thought Paul, if you were to video the event then a few more of us may be able to benefit from some of these techniques, it's a bit far for me to come otherwise would love to, but is always good to have a look at what others are doing!
Dave Liahona sent me a video of rug cleaning last year and it was immensely interesting and informative (sure he wont mind me mentioning it
)
Just seeing the process in action is enough to give you confidence to go out and do it!
have been cleaning leather for a year or so now and dont particularly find it easy, anything to speed up the process is got to be bonus,
