I myself would use something bigger than a wool dauber. I myself would use a sponge, that has more coverage area, per pass. I would also have my dye in a dish like a disposable pie pan. I would dip one side of the sponge in the dye real quick like & pull it back out & kinda let the dye soak into the sponge. That way it don't drip. Drips off of the sponge is a bad deal & can wreck a project. Then i would start my dye application process to the project, & continue to repeat till I got my desired results. Uniform color & desired color depth. Try dying some of your scrap leather you cut your hat out of first. That way you have a idea how the dye is going to react to the leather.

That's a hard question to answer I think. Only reason I say that is: it seems like every different piece of leather I have dyed, takes different approaches/dying technique to achieve certain results. Lol now this is what I found when I recently started using Fiebings Pro Dye.

I do everything from a phone & I'm too computer illiterate to figure it out.

Would you be nice enough to tell me, just what it cost/what you charged to sew patches on. I'm just curious. Thanks.

Thanks @Northmount for that tip. I would have not thought about that. Thats a great tip & trick. Thanks.

Yep gatogordo done it like I would have. I bet you could even machine sew if you like. Nice!

Here you go, Amazon or eBay has both styles plus many more.

I'm not sure where you folks are located. But there is a few other guys that make them embossing plates. I know a couple that make custom made to order embossing plates. I believe the couple I know, use derlin lmao I don't think that it's spelled it right.

I've had the same issue with the tri point needles on occasion. But if I pay close attention I can avoid it. If you want better odds of not cutting threads on back stitch, maybe try the spear point leather needles. Know as a "S" point.

OK thanks. I have been painting in the stamping with a detail paint brush with super shene. But yes I have my hit & misses with that procedure. Lmao I'm not as steady as I once was.

Yeah I would like to see pictures of the wallet insert you are using. So I don't look like a dummy or recommend the wrong thing to do. Lmao.

SUP is reverse dying the same thing as resist dying? That looks nice. Looks great. Awesome work.

Looks nice! Great work. Love it.

Looks nice to me. I bet functional too. Great work.

Copper for sure will get verdigris if it keeps getting wet & dry. But I think if a guy or gal used contact adhesive & folded the leather around the copper wire & sewed it it would be somewhat sealed from the elements. I think I'm going to try it at some point & see how it fairs out over time.
