Hello i'm new to this form and was hoping someone could help me out with a few questions I have. I have recently bought some new veg tanned belt strips that I was going to use to make the guys at my fire station a truck belt. I have made one and I have a few concerns about it. The belt was a natural color and I dyed it black finished the edges and used a sealer but when I punch holes it seems like just the very top layer is black. Is that how it's supposed to be or is it supposed to dye more in to the leather? I'm just worried that the black outer layer is going to scratch off and you will see the natural color. Did I miss a step or do something wrong or should I use different materials. i looked at other belts that are black all the way through. thanks
