Members JACKP Posted May 26, 2010 Members Report Posted May 26, 2010 I recieved my half shoulder from Tandy today and the color is very light. I would like it darker. Is there a tutorial on dying leather anywhere ? How to choose the right dye for leather ect. Any help would be appreciated. I will use the leather for knife sheath and a holster. Jack Quote
MADMAX22 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) IMHO the only way to go for standard dyes are feibings oil dyes and angelus dyes. Other then that there are many natural ways to dye leather or darken it considerably with various shades of browns and blacks. Try reading thru some of the threads in the dying section.The dying portion of projects is very tricky at first. Edited May 26, 2010 by MADMAX22 Quote
