Uneven Dye, I Think I Know Why

[Kcinnick]

I have been playing around Dip Dyeing with some scrap pieces and came up with a nice brown I liked using a combo of Fiebings pro Oil dyes and Denatured Alcohol. Once I was satisfied with the process I took two belt blank strips and dipped them, let them sit a minute, wiped the excess dye off and let them dry. They looked perfect, but when they dried they had little streaks across the belt blanks. I am fairly certain the streaks came from when I cleaned the blanks, I think its from rubbing back in forth with deglazer on the blank, everywhere I started and stopped a stroke it left a little line..... I won't do that again, but is there anyway to save the two blanks I have already dyed?
