I'm going to put his in General Gun because it's happening to leather for both rifles and pistols, and it' sonly happening in my safe, so I don't know if it should go in Long Gun Accessories, Handgun Accessories, or Shooting Gear and Storage. I'm sure a moderator will relocate to the right place.
My brown gun leather keeps growing this white, almost mold-like crud substance on it. Except, it isn't mold, because it isn't black or green and it cleans up very easily. I just hit it with some saddle soap and it's wipes away.
It appears on my rifle sling and my holster. Both are good to top quality leather. The sling is Triple K and the holster is Diamond D. Take the leather out of the safe, and the problem goes away. The safe is in a climate controlled room that average about 65-75˚F and runs about 50-70% humidity.
Odd that it only appears on brown (natural) leather (although, I've put Kiwi polish on the sling before). I have a black (obviously died) leather sling on a rifle adjacent to the sling in the photo below-it never has this stuff on it.
Does anyone recognize this stuff or have an idea on how to prevent it?
