If it is a Sabre guard sleeve, you take off the pommel, slide the blade out and put the sleeve on the guard.

If it is heat shrink, blast it with a high power hair dryer.

Alternatively, most heat shrink can be shrunk with a candle. Keep it just above the flame.

Although it may take a BIG or several candles to do this.

How to wash/clean the LP leather glove? I mean the inner.

As title. I always have sweaty hands so I have to wash/clean it regularly.

Sorry, this question shouldn't be posted here.

I find a bowl of water straight from the kettle provides a more even, tighter shrinkage due to the uniformity of heat distribution. Just make sure it's completely dry before assemlbing.

This is also an incredibly fun way to annoy people with left over heat shrink. Slide some over a kitchen utensil or something and dunk it in boiling water. Especially fun and easy to do while at a friends house.

In the 80s I had a deerskin glove that I used to hand wash in Woolite. It took a lot of rinsing to get the soap out, but it seemed to take it ok. I put a little saddle soap on it every so often to keep it flexible.
