[Making/mixing Dyes For Custom Colors?]

Hi Tina,

Any idea how I could get a pretty lavender color on both veg tanned leather and kangaroo lace?

I have a full set of Feibings Pro Oil Dye and a full set of Eco Flo Pro Waterstains

Thanks in advance for any help...

This is a great conversation. I just bought a complete set of the waterstains and am researching color mixing.

I happened across this blog about waterstain application testing. http://www.willghormley-maker.com/OldDogsAndNewTricks.html

I would like to make a lavender color and a burnt orange... so any color mixing suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

I just bought a complete set of the Eco Flo Professional Waterstains. Is there a color chart? I want to make lavender.

Hi,

Yes, I watched that video, it was very useful. He does not dampen the leather in the video before applying the stain. I have seen posts where dampening the leather is recommended, even soaking it all the way through before application. Any recommendations on this?

Thanks

Hi,

I found this great video on the subject of wetting the leather or not. http://www.willghormley-maker.com/OldDogsAndNewTricks.html

Thank you Tim and Glendon,

I will order some Resolene today. Another question... it is true that leather should not be dyed on the back?

thanks...

[Oil Based Dye And Neatsfoot Oil Question]

Thanks Dwight! What would you use to seal it?

The reason I am so hopeful that I can use the Pro Oil Dye is that I have 2 bottles of each color and would hate to chuck it all and buy a new brand...

Someone suggested I just not dye the backs of my projects... I never thought of that...

I appreciate the help..

[Oil Based Dye And Neatsfoot Oil Question]

So interesting... My question that tags along with this one is whether or not Feibings Pro Oil Dye is appropriate for bracelets and belts... I was told that it bleeds and discolors skin and clothing...

Thanks...

Another question: is Feibings Pro Oil Dye suitable for bracelets and belts?

[Can I Use Feibings Pro Oil Dye For Bracelets & Belts]

I need some advice. I want to make leather bracelets with applique kangaroo lacing. I have a full set of Feibings Professional Oil Dye and was told that they would bleed and mark skin and clothing.

Question: Can I use Feibings Pro Oil Dye on vegetable tanned leather bracelets & belts or... do I need to buy new dyes?

Also... what kind of finish should I use?

Thank you!
