Resist not working with Fiebings Pro Dye

Thanks Tom! I’ve used both of those for other art projects, I didn’t think about using those on leather.  I’ll try these out.

@TomG does it prevent bleeding of Eco-flo dyes as well? I can find a color that I want only in Eco-FLo but it bleeds heavily the moment it comes in contact with water. Still trying on scrap, luckily. If not, will have to compromise and move to something else.

I really don't know. I have only used Eco-Flo once, that I can recall, and it was not on an item that I needed anything blocked out. But, considering that it is basically a rubber coating, I would assume that it would.
Now, I only used it on stamped lettering and can tell you that you do need to get it down into the depressions around the letters. Otherwise, the dye can seep in at the edges and stain the letters. It IS tedious on longer lettering strings.

@TomGEco-flo bleeds so easily, I think I will just compromise on the color and try something else.

Thank you. It saves me continuous trials when I have a million other things to learn about leatherworking.
