That’s great to know. Until now my procedure was NFO, then after at least a few hours I’d deglaze with isopropyl and then apply my diluted dye. I had read comments and saw in YouTube videos people casing with diluted Isopropyl (50/50 to 75/35 ISO/Water) and I thought this could serve as my casing and deglazing solution, both at the same time. Any thoughts on this? I was wondering if it made sense to first apply NFO and later apply Alcohol. Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose? Oh, I got so much to learn lol

Pardon my barging in on the topic. I’m fairly new to leatherwork and have been putting on NFO before dying as well. Except I put it on with a cloth. Is there a specific reason to using the bristle brush? Also would you still deglaze after the NFO! Thank you kindly.

Hello folks, To state the obvious, I’m new here. Have been lurking around for a few months and decided to finally join. I’m pretty new to leatherwork as well but have always been fascinated by leather, even the smell of it. Anyway, I finally decided to dedicate some time to learn the craft and I enjoy it more and more. Since I live in the boonies I have to learn by reading books and what I can find out online. That’s how I stumbled across this place and sure glad I did. Greetings from the Yukon Territory, Canada.
