Members bustedlifter Posted February 5, 2010 Members Report Posted February 5, 2010 Fiebing's Oil Dye and some Fiebing's Snow Proof over that. I slather Snow Proof over my seats and other items and put them in the sun and let it "melt" into the leather, works great! I put it under the kitchen faucet and the water runs off it.For color I use BIC fine line permanent markers. Quote
Members unicornwoman Posted September 6, 2010 Members Report Posted September 6, 2010 Just a tip: After casing and carving, you naturally remove some of the oils/tannage processes from the skin; you have to consider about put that back in before you dye or finish. a slight comparison would be when your hands dry out; most usually put on lotion. Same thing, except the skin your tooling is kinda dead! Here in the Lone Star Leather Crafters Guild area, we are told to put a bit of Lexol into the water you use to case and carve with. That way the leather doesn't dry out quite so bad or fast. It also makes carving a bit better. Quote Melody D. Snow The Unicorn Woman (established 1980) Lillian, Texas, U.S.A.
