Not strictly a rumour, or anything related, but seeing as you guys are all servicemen/ex-servicemen, I hoped you can help me!
I've just got not of a new pair or ammo boots, and bulled up the toes and heels a treat. The remainder of the boot bulls up really well, but because the leather is so soft, it cracks almost as soon as I put them on! My old pair were really stiff all over so that didnt happen, but my question is how can I make these new boots as stiff? Also a lot of guards boots I've seen are really stiff making them ideal for bulling!
I've hot spooned them all over, thoroughly, and bulled hundereds of layers on, but no success! My bulling technique is sound, as my last boots were pretty fantastic, but I just don't know how you guards make the leather stiff! Is it just more bulling, and I need to just bull an awful lot more?!
I would really appreciate your help if you have the time!
Regards,
Adam
