  1. Hello everyone, Need advice on where can I buy Italian camouflage print leather? I found a few online stores selling camo lining leather (lamb/goat) but could not find something like the picture attached. Anyone knows where to get? Thanks in advance.
  2. Thanks for sharing! I will try that next time I tried to remove the grey spots by re-dyeing but it didn't work. The grey spots reappear, and the surface on the grey spots have a fine layer of "powdery" stuff on it. It can be wiped off but it will come back. It's weird. I guess I have no choice but to start on a new piece of leather.
  3. Many thanks for sharing. It does make sense. Now when I think about it, it could be the water and the oil dye or tan-kote is forming some weird chemical reaction. I will try one time on a smaller piece of leather without moisten the leather.
  4. Hi Dwight, here r the steps I follow 1) moist the leather 2) dye with fiebings saddle tan oil dye 3) seal off with fiebings tan-kote I use a cotton ball to coat in circular pattern. I apply the same methods on 1st and 2nd attempts but they were okay. So I couldn't figure out what went wrong this time.
  5. That's exactly what I was using - fiebings saddle tan oil dye. It seems like we hv the same problem using this dye. I didn't cut the dye with alcohol stuff, but I did apply a coat of fiebings tan-kote. Did u finish it off with fiebings resolene or tan-kote?
  6. Hi all, I encountered problem with dyeing leather. I really need advice from the experts on this. This is so far my 3rd attempts dyeing leather. The 1st and 2nd attempts were okay, but on the 3rd attempts, this is what I've got (pls see pic)... I use Fiebings oil dye, and after dyeing, I apply Fiebings Tan-Kote. Before dyeing, i did moist the leather May I ask why do I get those grey spots on the leather. I wonder what went wrong during the dyeing process. I tried using saddle soap to remove the grey spots but it came back after a while. Please help. Any remedy and answers would be greatly appreciated.
