Using denatured alcohol as reducer

[Shorts]

Anyone used denatured alcohol as a reducer to Angelus dye?

I ran out of the Angelus reducer but do have s-l-x denatured alcohol onhand (the kind from home depot).

My concern is that the denatured alcohol is too strong that it will slightly burn the leather. How do I mitigate that?

Hi, I have used Denatured Alcohol for over 30 years as a reducer, thinner for all dies we use. You just need to experiment with a little at a time to get the color that you want. Also works great for me as a Deglazer. Haven't had any problems at all. I just had some die bloching on a project and use Den. Alcohol and olive oil to uniform the color. Bloching came from the hide not getting tanned in that area properly. Hope this helps. Dennis from Durango
