Silicone is only bad if you've got silicone o-rings.

Like dissolves like.

So if I have silicone spray I use for car gaskets, it's okay to use?

It'll be pretty shit, you want something thicker, but it'll be harmless

I'll just do it often until I get some actual grease then

It's pretty thin, yeah

gueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees what??

This is not real leather.

So, what is the best course of action?
How do I get at least some of my money back?

@Knight from La Mancha "some of"? lmao you're getting full price back buddy

take photos, open a dispute on aliexpress, attach photos, explain that it's not real leather

I took the pictures already.

Look at this bullshit:

go to your orders page on ali

why does no laptop manufacturer except Apple accept 16:10 as the superior aspect ratio for laptops?

Because ur a furry

destroyed

So, I go directly to dispute, no talking to the guy first then?

at first the dispute is between you and the seller

only if you two don't come to an agreement it can be escalated higher

funnily enough that can easily be leather

afaik

not just your pure hide

but glue and ground leather scraps

aka "bonded leather"

or "pleather"

(glue in this case is polyurethane or if you are really lucky latex)

You think?

yep

thats bonded
