Grundsätzlich werden die beiden Produkte Lederbalsam und Ledervaseline für unterschiedliche Anwendungsfälle genutzt. Der Lederbalsam ist ein Reinigungsbalsam zum Öffnen der Poren und Reinigen des Leders (ähnlich wie ein Seifenschaum) bei Verunreinigungen der Oberfläche. Die Ledervaseline wird zur regelmäßigen Pflege (und Vorbeugung von Austrocknung) des Leders genutzt. Sie macht das Leder wieder geschmeidig und auch ausgetrocknete Leder bekommen wieder ihren Glanz.
According to your description, you probably applied the leather balm itself and not the foam. The good news is that by reapplying the leather balm correctly (described in another question below in more detail), you should also be able to remove the sticky layer that has now formed and clean the surface.
Correct application (be patient and prefer to start with less foam, the process can be repeated if you notice that the cleaning was not 100% successful):
1. Lightly lather up the leather balm with a clean sponge (beat like soap to create foam)
2. Pick up only the foam with a clean (or well wrung out) sponge
3. Apply firmly with circular movements
4. Clean the sponge and apply new foam
5. Repeat until you feel that the leather is sufficiently clean
6. Allow to dry thoroughly (a few hours should be sufficient) - the leather must be really dry afterwards, and you will feel it
7. Repeat the cleaning process if necessary, if the sticky effect persists
8. Grease lightly with Maroquin leather vaseline
The balm is basically a cleansing balm to open the pores and clean the leather (similar to a soap foam).
With vaseline, you don't have to worry about shelf life. As long as the consistency is creamy, you can use it without hesitation. With leather balm, this is only true to a limited extent. When the balsam begins to break down (the emulsion no longer looks milky but forms grains or turns brown), we no longer recommend its use on high-quality bindings. The active ingredients against fungal attack are then no longer active enough. If the balm starts to smell rancid, you should discard it.
