I got a small bottle of the above dye to try out. The attached pic shows wet vs dry and 1 coat vs 2, straight from the bottle on the supplied dauber. 

I think with a little thinning this will be a nice reddish dye.

I have never been able to get Red out of it , you may have better luck .

I've had fairly good success with it in the few times I've used it.

It's very similar to the dye used by a bunch of  cheap leather makers.

Local guy had me make him a new belt . . . he outgrew his old cheap belt . . . he passed before he ever came to get it . . . so I got his ammo from the old one . . . plus two belts one day I'll put on Ebay and sell.  His old one was that color . . .  new one matched the holster really well.

May God bless,

I'm finding that diluting the Burgundy about 3 or 4 parts of water to 1 of the dye gets a redder color. Something I'm working on attached. I didn't think to save some other scraps where I diluted it so much I got to a salmon kind of color.

I'm applying it to wetted leather and find that the dilute mixture goes on well with the wool dauber.

EDIT: Actually, the outer edges of  that scrap piece are the same dye mixture, just fewer applications.
