Veteran Posts: 287	I've used olive oil and it is ok. But they do make coconut oiled reins that actually come that way so I wondered if it worked well to use on other stuff.

Expert Posts: 1694 Location: Willows, CA	Don't use Coconut Oil on Tack!! It is not a liquid below 72 degrees. Because of this, it would be greasy on leather rather than really soak into the leather fibers. Every time the temp went below 72 you will get a white film on the leather. Olive oil works very well.

Do you clean your track first or just rub the miracle juice on?
