Color bleeding?

[Knotnutz]

I use colored Kangaroo lace when I braid, and make some pretty good looking leashes from it. One of my customers, who, while raving about her burgundy colored leash, commented that if its a warm day (or she is having a personal 'tropical moment' ) and has sweaty palms, will color her palm pink.

Any thoughts on what I can do to seal the color (tannery dyed) but still keep the leather as soft and supple as it becomes after I beat it to death (aka, soften it)?

It really sounds like the leather isn't sealed at all. I suggest one of the myriad saddle conditioners, preferably one that has a wax in it. This will seal the leather against moisture for the most part, and still condition it. Other than those, perhaps a silicone compound for waterproofing.

Thanks - will investigate the products next time I go shopping. Any recommendations????
