AlZilla Report post Posted July 22, 2023 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted July 23, 2023 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, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlZilla Report post Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited August 17, 2023 by AlZilla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
