Redochre Report post Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) If you're dying at home, is wanting to make heirloom quality a reality? I'm struggling to see how it could be. Is buying dyed through the better option for items with no carving? Also, don't forget to be awesome people Edited May 23, 2015 by Redochre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted May 23, 2015 If you dye by totally submersing and rubbing the dye onto and into the leather with dyes that are heavily cut with DEA, then yes it is possible to produce high quality with an even color. When you start using dyes that are heavily cut, the process is much slower. If not dark enough, you can dye again until you get it just right. To get struck through leather from the tannery (I'm talking veg tan), you will have to buy a drum load at one time (10 to 20 sides). I will do this with black, as that is a real PIA in the first place, but other colors are easier to do as above. Tanneries like Wickett and Craig also have a finish line that can spray them pretty much any way you want, and provide whatever split you want.
