  1. Yeah it's Tandy leather 8-9 oz I think. I did a holster dyed by hand, cut from right next to this that was reduced, but not as much. Came out near perfect. I knew this would harden up but wow. For kicks I put a mahogany antique on it to hopefully give it a worn looking appearance. Not to bad so far, let that dry and oil.
  2. Hi All, This is my first time dip dyeing. Came out horrible. Was very suprised after reading about it and it supposing to resolve un-eveness. This is the result after about 10 hrs. dry time with a fan blowing across. It was not apparent until after a bit of drying. I used fiebings saddle tan reduced about 60/40 submerged about 10 seconds, cleaned before hand with barkeepers friend soft and water and dried. Red arrow is the natural leather, blue was target color, green looks wet but is "dry". Leather also became very hard but is not oiled yet. What do you think happened? How can I recover, redip? If I have to I could vinagroon, but was really shooting for the blue arrow color. Took a good amount of time to get to that color. At this point I would go with the green arrow color. I have buffed it and get no color transfer. Thanks Bill
