Common core education? I am sorry. Well, maybe I can help your ignorance out just a little Sir James Douglas was know as “Good Sir James". He was now one of the king's greatest supporter and a model of chivalry. But James had black hair and a reputation so feared by the English they named him "the Black Douglas." They said his evil success against them was because he was a demon himself. I am a direct descendant of Sir James I am proudly a Black Douglas. there ya go, you have been properly ss hooked and if your ish to know more google it Now let’s address your disrespect of this forum take your negative bullshat and go somewhere else. Your kind is not welcome here. Here is some more education for you your moms should have home trained you but since she lacked the skill I will not do it for her if you do not have anything good to say then keep your pie hole shut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinbad395 Report post Posted January 5 You go Frodo!!!!! PS thanks for the description for your procedure on this. But (and I may be mistaken here) it seems you are still having problems with the new air brush. Are you thinning the dye? The few times I've used mine, that got me the best results for even color. Also had to play with the nozzle setting to get a wider spray when trying to cover larger areas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, this weekend I will make a tank for this thing it has done very well on edge work and fading in but the first time Inused it non a large area it ruined the look I ordered some more dye looks like I will fix it by dunking it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bladegrinder Report post Posted January 6 I think for large pieces air brushes don't give enough penetration, or I should say depth unless you spray it 100 times. at least for me when I first started using an air brush on leather it seemed to me like a light scratch exposed un-dyed leather. They are great for fading, I only use mine anymore for doing a darker fade from the edge of the piece inwards over lighter dyed work piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aven Report post Posted January 6 Purplefox66 I hope you are sober now and want to apologize. That was totally uncalled for. Frodo, there are a few videos on youtube about using an airbrush for dyeing leather. These are the ones that I've gone through and bookmarked for when I get around to using an airbrush. Maybe you'll find a nugget or two in there that can help sort things out for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inZcoxkuylk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h96qn66FExw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLOT1Jkq9wk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YA_cNnATi0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An oz. of dye is an oz of dye no matter how you put it on the leather it will go the same distance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate your experience and thoughts the mixture I use of mahogany and light brown have different shades or hues ( if that is the correct word) depending on the thickness being applied single light coat is a tan, heavy coat is mahogany my issue with the air brush is simply I need more practice using the air brush i have used it up to this point only fading in edges and a monkey can pull that off with out problems Aven, I have not had a chance to look at those links yet. I will some time today as time provides, thank you for posting them purplewtf ever, I hold no animosity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dikman Report post Posted January 11 I guess purplefox was having a bad day when he made his original comments. Happens to all of us. Frodo, airbrushes aren't intended to do large areas, something I discovered too, it is very difficult to get uniform coverage. You need to go up in size and get a small spraygun to do that, you can find them on ebay/Aliexpress. Interesting heritage you have there, perhaps we should call you Frodo the Black.
