Bullshank Report post Posted February 21, 2010 Hey guys and gals. I am new to leatherworking. I have been doing plaiting for less than a year making whips, but all out of parachute cord. I recently purchased some kangaroo hides and want to dye them a darker brown. I have read alot of dyeing procedures and it says oil before you dye. Most use neatsfoot oil. Now i remember reading somewhere under taking care of your whip to not use neatsfoot or any light oils as this will loosen the strands. Is this only AFTER the whip is plaited? Or does that mean never using neatsfoot at any stage of production. I was wondering if treating with pecard's or some other thicker product would work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
