Hello! I'm a new-ish leatherworker. I'm making leather wristbands as a fundraiser. I've gotten the hang of the process and am happy with my results so far. However, I'm having problems with the wristband leaving a mark on my skin in high humidity, on sweaty skin.
Here is my process (I wait 12 hours between each step):
1. Tool onto 6/7 oz. leather
2. Dye with Fiebings alcohol-based dye
3. Neatsfoot oil on both sides (since the alcohol dries out my leather a lot, but I prefer the deeper dying of the alcohol-based dyes)
4. Seal with Fiebings Acrylic Resolene (for a long-lasting protection)
5. Attach snaps
Since I'm doing this as a fundraiser, I can't afford to spend any more on other materials. Can anyone offer advice on how to prevent color transfer onto skin, possibly just by adjusting my process? Thanks in advance- this community is a wealth of information!
