Fiebing's Recipe For "burgandy"?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me with mixing up some Fiebing's leather dye to make a burgandy or wine-colored stain? Maybe "maroon" is a better term....

hey SouthernCross,

Burgundy, Maroon and Wine colors are all derived (like any other mixed color) from the 3 primaries and a lightener/darkener: red, blue, yellow, black, white. For what you're looking for, here is a recipe using Eco-Flow I made up last month that should easily convert to Fiebing provided you can find the primary colors by them. If not, Angelus might have spirit based dyes in the colors you need as well.

Feibing's mahogany has a red tint. You can probably thin it some to bring out more of the red.

Well, shoot - I just noticed on Fiebings' website that they already have a true "burgundy" color. My local Tandy store told me they didn't - that's why I was asking for a recipe.

Thanks, guys!

I believe I saw this color the last time I was at Hide Crafter's in Fort Worth earlier this month. Give them a call and see.

Good luck
