[Boatanchors] ON Topic: Tannery leather conditioner/cleaner

[Ed - K9EW]

Hi Michael,

If you got to www.acehardware.com and type in Tannery in the search
box, I think you'll find what you're looking for.

You can either order it over the Internet, or take a printout of the
page to your local Ace Hardware store.  They can order it for you, and
save you the shipping charges.  I've done this with my local Ace, and
everything went smoothly.

73 and thanks for the tip.
