Gday folks , i have made myself a belt and am not real happy with the colour , it is a bit to light and blotchy , i was thinking of re-dyeing it a darker colour but was wondering if i had to do anything to it first so it came out better than the first time aroung ?? and hints would be much appreciated.
:cheers:

I think it looks great. If you want it darker put another coat of oil on it and set it out in the sun for an hour or two.

I like the color. It shows off the lacing Take baby steps if you decide to re-dye. It will definitely get darker if you put it out in the sunlight.
