After I put a coat of Fiebings Resolene on a piece, I decided to change the color. Can I re do the dye to another color.

thanks

It's highly doubtful that you would achieve any acceptable result. You'll likely ruin your project trying. Better to learn to like the current color.

Yes, you can, but it will not be easy nor quick. You'll have to completely strip ALL the resolene, AND most of whatever color you used*. If you're going darker, then you may be able to just color over...but you can get hints of the other color showing through. The type of dye you used wil also be important. If it's spirit dye, then you have only the option to go darker. If it's ECO-dye, I'm not sure. If it's Eco- ALL-IN-ONE, then you probably won't be successful because that product also includes a finish.

Products to try for resolene removal: Acetone, denatured alcohol, etc.
Incidentally, you'll also need to recondition the leather after using harsh chemicals to strip it.
