Members bronc701 Posted February 5, 2010 Members Report Posted February 5, 2010 Ok, I am new to this site and to working with leather. My biggest weakness is I can make a descent holster but from time to time I have spots where the dye wont take. I can later rub it down and have brown spots showing through my black. Also wondering how do you fade from black to natural and make it look good. Below are my chemicals I am using. I generally clean the leather after the work is complete with a Lexol PH Soap and have even tried saddle soap. I then let it dry and apply feibings marine black alcohol based and let it set until it appears dry and then rub it down and or give it an extra coat. I have some feibings light brown pro oil based but am b\not real confident in using it. The whole brown areas showing through is really annoying. Also what cloths are the best and cheapest to use for the application of finishing products. Thanks Quote
