Members Stagdag Posted October 2, 2009 Members Report Posted October 2, 2009 And I was curious about what types of dye to use and how to use em. Speciifically I am looking for a dye that is sort of mottled brownish-green. I saw a picture of a sheath dyed with it and it's gorgeous! Thanks for any help you can give me. Cheers, PMZ Quote

Cheers, PMZ I have had really good luck with the Tandy Hi-Liters. I have found for me the best way to apply is to layer it on with a wool dauber then with a damp sponge wipe the excess off and even out the color. The Hi-Liter part will seep into the impressions and bring out any tooling. Makes a basket stamp look awesome. I have found the best way to apply the acrylic finish is the spray it on either with a air gun or the prevail sprayer. Good Luck Quote

I tried some DIY coffee dye and then some leather conditioner/shoe polish dye and only got patchy results...will have to find some of that. PMZ Quote
