question for leather experts

[glyde]

I am looking for a leather silicone spray that is unlacquered. Any suggestions?

I have a gun holster that Bianchi said to use some on a portion of it to help it stretch a bit.

thanks

Obenauf's makes a product called Watershield that I understanding to be just just silicone suspended in water. It comes in a pump spray bottle and is said not to contain any chemicals, but you might want to check with Obenauf's or perhaps a real leather expert will come along.

A master boot maker friend of mind, now deceased, used a mixture of water and alcohol at about 50/50 in a spray bottle to stretch boots that were a bit tight. It worked very well. Wet them, insert the stretching last and let them dry. This process ought to work on holsters as well with the gun being the "last". The alcohol evaporates more quickly than the water and speeds the drying time under an ordinary fan to circulate the air.
