I haven't tried any yet, i went into tandy leather store near me and they had eco flow oranges and there was orange antiquing stuff. I hadnt seen any of the fiebings in orange, just brown colors that seemed close to orange until the guy showed me a swatch and it was darker and more brown than i was wanting. Ill check out that fiebings one, thank you!

Hi friends, i wanted to see if anyone had recommendations for orange dye, and perhaps some pictures or links to some visuals. What i am realizing is finding a true bright orange is hard to get, or i am looking in the wrong places. Lol I'm talking Harley Davidson's kind of orange. Anyone have any imput? Thanks!

Thank you all for your help and knowledge! I now have a better view of how to proceed with my project. Since these precut strips are thin enough, i can fit them on a strip of masking tape. However, with larger projects I will certainly undertake the shelf liner that has been suggested. Thank you for the timely and welcoming replies, I believe I am going to greatly enjoy this community and learning this craft!

Hello friends, I have a couple questions if i may. I'm new to leather working, and i bought, for practice, some precut veg-tan wristbands from tandy. They are thin, 4-5 oz, and i have read in places that stamping thinner leather makes it stretch. I've read about using masking tape or something similar on the back. Therefore, in my inexperience I ask, what is the best way to keep the thinner leather from stretching while being stamped? After casing properly that is. Or is it that before casing you already have attached something to the back? Perhaps this step is unnecessary altogether, which is why I am quite lost on whether to do it or not. My nest question is the order in which to to these things, for example; would it be best to bevel the edges, groove or cut holes, before or after casing? I'd like to add that the stamping I will be undertaking will be fairly simple, and will mostly consist of one larger stamp being used repeatedly along the length of the wristband Thank you in advance for any help and feed back
