Mr. Dallas, great minds think alike. I ordered a tub of their boot dressing as well as a bar of Saddle Soap last evening. You are correct - Sno-seal will stiffen the leather and really needs heat to get the seal to "set." Russell suggests that boots be scrubbed with Saddle Soap and allowed to dry before the application of a waterproof dressing so I will follow their directions - to the"T."
