This is correct, I should have been a bit more precise about how to apply. Use a Q-tip and as little as necessary, then re-oil with lanolin oil followed with a good quality waxing.
Never good to use acetone in any quantity on leather. It has the same effect on our skin as well so wear gloves.
Thanks for pointing this out.
