  2. that is what is reffered to as Block dye . take a piece of wood wrap a tee shirt material 100% cotton wrap the block of wood very tightly several times. then apply dye to the block and wipe back & forth on what you want to dye.....PRACTICE.
  3. you cooked the leather........in your case next time use cool tap water let it soak for about 1-2 minutes, then let it dry for about 3 minutes then start moulding.........

  12. Hate to hear that you are having problems. a fine Bloke that i know lives in Ludlow his name is Ray Hatley i would give him a call to see if it would be possible to bring the machine to his shop for some first hand visiual instructions..................

  14. Take a look at the Cart Buckles that Tandy sells. they are about the best ones that i have found.
  15. you can thin IF YOU WANT TO....just be sure to read the package direction. it states where to POINT the nozzle. i use them quiet often.
  16. A good coat of Super Sheen works for me.
  17. Critter............PS.... it will amaze you what you can do with Neetsfoot oil in an air brush. I gives me a very used look on Hats & Buckskin clothing...Experiment...or as my friend says R & D......
  18. I did try the pump action a long time ago and all i got was blobs & sputters .... the lower price gun at Harbor Freight will serve you well.
  19. Critter, thanks for paying us a visit. If you are new to this... EXPERIMENT. get your air brush out and have at it, The dye spray around the edges are what you are trying to do.
  20. Good Luck.....all i have seen was Very firm.
  21. It would only take a few minutes,after all you will be using thin leather and a small piece. I think 2-3 minutes would get it wet enough.you'll see when it is pliable.
