I got some of the Proofide when I got the saddle. I applied a thin layer the day before my first ride. I left it for a couple of weeks until my next ride. I once again applied some. And I will do so for the next couple of rides. I use mine on my 29er, full suspension MTB - very forgiving. I would rather suffer from some "stiffness" and wait a while longer for the "break-in" than to use too much of the Proofide. But do not kid yourself - it is a hard ride for the time being.
