  1. Thanks for the reply, I´ll try that. The Oxalic acid I have used it diluted with water (I have powder) to clean the leather before the dye. EDIT: I have also tried today, in a new strap, oil it first as I saw in the forums and then dyied them in a larger bunk. It looks much better. I'll look into the diluted dye with isopropyl. I assume I'll get a lighter color.
  2. Hi all, I´m a newbie leather hobbyist. I have searched the forum but could not find my exact problem. I'm trying to deep dye some straps to make belts. I got natural veg tan shoulders from a dealer in Germany. I´m using fiebings pro dye (English bridle). The thing is that I´m getting like splashes in my leather and not an even coat. I have tried deep dyeing from 20 seconds to 20 minutes. I have tried using a dilution of oxalic acid (I think I saw it here), even fiebings Dye prep to clean the leather. Same results. I roll each strap and deep dye it on a square container. Maybe should I try a long container and dye them flat? Anyone knows if they exist? Can anyone help me? I attach some pics. The first ones are after 24h drying time. The others after applying some fiebings neatsfoot oil. Thanks
  3. thanks, the first one is the first pic. The sheath for the skiving knife.
