Billy P Report post Posted November 26, 2009 dI have some of the Tandy antique stain in various colors. My personal favorite is the SADDLE TAN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy P Report post Posted November 26, 2009 I hit a wrong button and didn't finish the question. The saddle tan stain that I have has thickened up a lot and I would like to find out if there is something to thin it with other than the Tandy stain thinner. I hate to have to order a $5 bottle of thinner and have to pay $10 or $11 dollars shipping. Plus the Tandy is only about 80 miles away, but because of where it is in Charlotte N.C. it's about a 2+ hr. drive. Any ideas/help will be greatly appreciated.

ClayB Report post Posted November 26, 2009 That's what I was thinking too. I have always mixed Fiebings antique with Tan Kote to thin it down some. You might try that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TigerPal Report post Posted November 26, 2009 Yes, Tan-Cote works great for thinning Antique Stain - first heard of it from a Tandy store manager. It helped me restore soem old, dried-up stain back to usable condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sansun77 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 I have thinned some of the dye with alcohol. You could try a small sample on a scrap of leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy P Report post Posted December 5, 2009 Many thanks to everyone who replied to my question. I do think that I have a bottle of Tan Kote, if not I'll order that. Again many thanks Billy P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenKnight Report post Posted August 6, 2012 I know this is years after the original posting, but if ever searched again ... Being that it's Tandy, isn't their antique Eco-Flo which is water based? So ... wouldn't the dried/thickened antique be able to be thinned by adding a little water (very little at a time) until the consistency is same as the factory's original thickness?
