Hi all
I'm new on this site (I learnt a lot viewing posts)
First of all, I wish you a happy new year 2009
I french and did some leather work
And as I don't understand very well english I think I made mistakes
Would you be fine to correct ideas and answer question
What I understand :
1) dye / stain / oil penetrate leather
2) color (cova for example) stay on top, of the leather
Several methods :
1) dye or color then / finishe or oil
2) dye or color then oil, then stain (removed) then finish or oil
My main problem is with stain
I tried dye, oil, stain , finishe, but when I removed stain, it deasapeard even in the tooled down parts !!!
Perhaps the oil has to not be put in the tooled parts ? (just on top !!!)
Or it's not the right product
I used dye and color from France, super shene and stain from Tandy
Thanks for your help and have a good day

If fact i think i make a mistake with theses words STAIN and DYE
In tandy's book they said :
leather DYES which pénétrate the leather
color STAIN and ANTIQUE which must be removed quickly
BLOCK OUT
and FINISH
So if i understand, i can dye/color and apply finish, or put stain/antique (over dye/color) and apply finish
But if i do not want to put stain or antique over some part, i must apply a block out or super shene
I hope i am now clear for ideas
Thanks for your help
Thanks for the answer and advices
I will try theses books
And i'll post some leather work soon
