These liberal commies are anti business, you dont make things by using other things, you must buy them!

Lol, recycle is the way, I like cheap alternatives.

Good info... Thanks OP.

You're welcome =)

I've never been a fan of the Banana, I only eat one once in a blue moon, but it is getting my admiration now.

I was told as a child that the peels were poisonous, but from further reading, they are actually healthy.

Here is some other home remedy uses for the peel.

Wasn't there news of bananas disappearing soon?

I see what you did there-- niiiiice!

Holy shit, I had blocked that awful song out of my mind for 30 years!

Thank you for the info =)



Haha, I thought I'd blocked it too, damn you 593, It's stuck again.

Banana Oil is a GREAT leather oiler and preservative.

The Book Preservation companies that go through libraries and oil the old leather books every few years use Banana Oil as their treatment of choice to keep the leather bindings on the old books from drying out, and have for over 120 years.

The first time I was in the library in our town where they were doing that (when I was a kid) I was shocked at the smell and asked my dad what it was and what the people were doing. That was when I learned about the practice of oiling two and three hundred year old leather books with banana oil.

I am not sure you would want to do that to your leather car seats (the smell is somewhat overwhelming), but having seen enough dried out and cracked leather car seats it might be better than nothing, at least on the brown or darker leather that wouldn't show the stains of uneven application of the banana oil.
