problem with the color? Let me explain

[JustWakinUp]

Do any of you guys that use this stuff have a problem with the color? Let me explain;

I grabbed a piece of scrap last nite and some shearling to lay the stain on, I put one coat

on and it looked fine, waited 2-3 minutes and applied another coat. When the second coat

went down there was a strange greenish tint to the color. This weird discoloation did not go

away upon buffing either. It was there to stay. Any ideas why that is? It's happened

on more than one occasion, and im thinking of steering clear of that stuff if that's how it works.

I think, and I could be remembering this wrongly, the directions say one coat only.

Just popped into my local Tandy last week and bought a bunch of the new stains/dyes. They had given me a nice color chart pamphlet that describes each type of product and what to use it with/how to use it.

I was going to check the directions too. It seems like the All in One would have a sealer in it, thus the name. Once the leather has been sealed, the next application probably is going to just sit on top and not soak in at all.

It's recommended that all-in-one be applied heavy for the first (& only coat).

JWU,

I've used the Eco-Flo All-In-One stains extensively, and the quick road to disaster is to apply a second coat. The second coat will actually lift the first one, so you're left with a smudged surface. Now, a greenish tint? That's new to me. What color were you using?

Hopefully, you were experimenting on scrap and can just trash it and try again. You can coax some beautiful colors from All-In-One if you're skilled at getting that first coat on right. The recent belts on my web site were done with Fudge Brown, the checkbook cover with Acorn Brown, and the key fob with Primrose Red. But it's definitely a persnickety product with not a lot of margin for error.
