Problem with Fiebings Pro Oil dye:

[ABC3]

When we dip leather into a pot of  Fiebings dye (light Brown or Saddle Tan ) for 3 to 4 seconds and hang to dry it comes out very dark brown or almost black. Does anyone have an idea of the problem?

Are you thinning your pro dye 50/50 or using it straight up out of the bottle. 

 

Also instead of hanging your project, try laying it flat on some cardboard. 

Also when you dip dye it takes a good 24hr or longer to fully dry.
