The best thing about Angelus dye...

[brinyar]

The best thing about Angelus dye...is that there seems to be little to no buffing required to remove the excess dye. When I use Fiebings it seems to take forever to buff it enough to prevent any rub-off. On the downside, the light brown is a little too reddish for my tastes.... Anyway, here are a couple of holsters I have done with Angelus light brown and jet black. Any comments are welcome.

Who do you buy it from. I have done some looking but not real hard mind you.

[brinyar]

I purchased it from Springfield Leather. I have also read that other people have got it at Turtlefeathers.net, or purchased direct from Angelus.

You have just answered one of my many problems ,a dye with good covering power.. If you looked at "six month`s in the woods" you will see the Nasty Bison Brown !! Now to see if they will ship to the UK! Or do you kind folk know of an importer..

Thanking You All Kindly

Gorgeous Scott:-)

I have used the Angelus ever sinse I started with leather, I love the vividness in them. Have you tried to mix your own color? They mix great with each other and there is a reducer you can use too to make it less strong.

I don't know how much Angelus them selfes takes for the dye but other than them, Turtlefeathers.net has the best prices I have ever found and is super quick to send out.

If you can get anyone to send to Europe, please tell me, I'm moving back to Sweden soon and my biggest headache is how to get "my dyes" over there.

Those are stunningly well-done, Scott! I suppose you used an Angelus finish as well. . . What was it and how do you apply it?

Thanks for sharing with us.

Fantastic work, Brinyar! The next time you order from Springfield Leather, buy a bottle of "Spice" and see if you don't like it better than the light brown.

I haven't mixed any different colors yet, but will throw some black into the light brown to see what I get. I do use the Angelus 600 acrylic finish. I usually dip everything, from dye to finish. Some of the posts about using an air brush have me interested in trying that method out, it will probably be awhile before I do that, though. Thanks for the tip on the Spice color, Boomstick, I'll order some sometime to try out.

Brinyar, very nice. What weight leather are you using and from where?
