Old leather journal scaly and sticky after conditioning
Hello, I found an old calf leather journal in the thrift store 2 years ago and I’ve been using it dearly. My mother decided to wash and condition it yesterday and it has gotten weirdly scaly in some parts and extremely sticky, some parts have darkened and the texture of it is uneven. I don’t really know if it’s normal. Or if there’s anything I can do to remedy it. I would love some advice.
