Can You Airbrush Vinegaroon

[particle]

I finally decided to give vinegaroon a try. My question is this - can you airbrush the vinegaroon on the leather (assuming it's properly filtered so it doesn't clog the airbrush)? I would like to fade from a lighter color to black (like the attached photo). It's probably easier to just spray with black dye, but I can't apply the black very thick. Sealers will help to protect it, but I figure vinegaroon will give a little more durable coloring.

Depending on the sprayer, if you can pour it, you can spray it- the issue is that the vinegaroon isn't like a dye where you can fade the coverage. With a really weak compound, you might get some fading, but as the 'roon ages, it will likely get a bit stronger. Once it's at a certain level......if it hits veg-tan, it gets black. Or gray, or sometimes blue...... the point is that 'roon causes a chemical reaction inside the leather.

Have you considered spraying the fade with dye, then using 'roon as an edge only application? I think there's still some risk of the compound leeching through the core of the leather and possibly getting some spotting. It would all depend on the particular piece of leather and how much it wicks the brew through it.

Okay - that was pretty much my fear - that the roon would react a little different depending on application amount, the leather, etc. and it would be hard to get even/smooth application. I'll give it a try just for grins once the batch finishes in a week or two.

please do! I'm giving you an asnswer based on edumacated guessin'. And I've dripped the brew where it wasn't supposed to be....

Maybe dip the edge (of a piece of scrap) and see how much of it "bleeds" up the leather. Like a bowl with 1/2" of 'roon in it, then the leather stuck in and allowed to "wick" the solution up .... ????
