Thank you, that's very helpful!
By 'running' I mean the dye still runs or comes off to the touch or when wet. I was wondering if there's a better finish to lock in the colour? Or is the buffering the secret?
That brown streaky effect I was going for wouldn't be permanent if buffed
Hi
I've been attempting my first leather making ever - making 3 belts for myself and family...
They are really rough and I can see where I need improvement but my main problem is how do I stop the water based dye from running?!
I've oiled (neatsfoot) and then finished the belts with Acrylic Resolene but I noticed that it still runs quite badly... The black one (pro oil dye) doesn't but the red and blue does.
Sorry for hijacking thread but to clarify-
the 'finishing' products available are tan-kote, resolene, harness dressing, atom wax, neatsfoor oil? and all prevent dye from running?
