I aggree.  Except I don't actually know if the GTX membrane would be
damanged significatly by the dubbin.    That said,  putting dubbin onto
the leather will make the GTX useless.  So the same end result.


All that said,  the original questions is talking about Nubuck,  not
fullgrain leather.  Dubbin shouldn't go on nubuck
