enginecoleather Report post Posted February 11, 2015 Hello all, I am fairly new to leather work within the last couple of years and I am making leather radio straps for the fire service. I am looking to ramp up my operation. I like dying the leather myself to achieve the color I want. I have been dying them by hand and I finished the backs and edges with edge kote. I am not the satisfied with this process. I use Hermann oak and I am very satisfied with it. I have been looking into "dip dying" so I could do 100 straps at a time and I am thinking I wouldn't have to apply and edge kote to them anymore and finishing the edges would be much easier. I just want to make sure the dye will set in well and I can't have any rub off onto shirts. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
