TomSwede Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks for your time and explanation Drac. Just got a little restless waiting for my buddy to go shopping tubes (yes they are home now) so i started tooling with this and just mixed Fiebings pro oil dye red mixed with Tandys saddle tan. Great stuff, got a gooey, gloppy mixture (like gumtrag in consistency) wich can produce similar results. Alot of black thick cream that leaves a nice red surface when swabbed with a damp cloth. I took most of the black of from the lettering here but this isn't the shoestrap I've talked about. Started this from an old carved, nontooled piece from the scrapbin. Will be a small bag to go with the rod tube to carry the fishing roll in. Working with this gel-like formula was nice 'cuz I had lots of time to apply a thick layer and then toodle around with the cloth here and there. It dries slowly compared to spirit dyes. Maybe we should copy this to another how to do it thread. How to make "Dracs bloodred with black haze"! Anyway, posting two pics here so you can see the result. I don't have th colour combination you used at home so I'll stick with this for bootstrap. Happy now and gonna go webshopping for some high end scotch. Hosting next event.
