I have had enough requests for dyed holsters that it's time to ask a few questions. My holster is worn directly against the skin for most people and I want to be sure that the dye does not bleed.
1- I know that alcohol based dyes require a finishing coat, do oil dyes need this coat as well? I assume so, but I would rather ask an know then to guess.
2- Would I need to use a finish coat on the undyed side of the leather that faces the skin? I am wondering if the dye will bleed through with enough perspiration.
3- The finish I picked up is Fiebings acrylic resolene. Is this the finish you would recommend to prevent bleeding with an oil dye?
4- I use only horsehide. I don't know if or how that would be a factor, but I figure it's worth mentioning.
Any word of advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
