Steve, I would use a leather conditioner after the lighter fluid.
It is well known by most on the board that I have played many years and do not use any tape or anything to protect my equipment. I have found that top-line equipment holds it's own very well on rollon/sportcourt.
I have do adamantly protest the use of "ToughToe" to protect the skates or other equipment. This stuff will rub off leaving horrid black crayon-like streaks on the playing surface.
This overzealousness with protecting equipment is usually stemmed from the cheap-ass roller equipment out there. Top line ice equipment will last many, many years without protective treatment in Roller Hockey.
