Members Shooter McGavin Posted February 5, 2011 Members Report Posted February 5, 2011 SO, if you have latex gloves on with dye all over them, and also have some dye on the bottle, then go to pick the bottle up, it leaves your wood workbench a really nice color, along with most of your tools, your wall, some of your clothes, and whatever finished pieces of a lighter color happen to be laying there. Plus it will smell your whole house up. BAH! Quote

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted February 5, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted February 5, 2011 It's called "Custom" art work..... Quote
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted February 5, 2011 Members Report Posted February 5, 2011 Simply put, it works as advertised. It's pro oil dye, not watercolor. I keep a quart of laquer thinner handy in my shop, it will clean up most of that stuff except the leather. As for the smell, I spent over 40 years in the automotive industry, mostly working with interior and exterior coatings, so my sense of smell is no longer functioning, so I cannot attest to anything as far as how it smells, but; if you were to talk to my wife, well that's another thing now!

Bob I worked in printing. People would come in the shop and ask how I could work with the smell. I'd say, "what smell?" I had to give up wearing contact lenses because the solvents would absorb into them and irritate my eyes. My sense of smell is returning. Quote
Members budd4766 Posted February 7, 2011 Members Report Posted February 7, 2011 I had one of those nicely sealed bottles "blow up" on me while trying to open it once, (new bottle). Unfortunately, at that time my workshop was a spare bedroom of a rental house. Took forever to get the saddle tan off the off white walls. I've come to accept that, no matter how careful I am, if I'm indoors where I DO NOT want to make a mess, SOMETHING besides my leather is just going to get stained... Quote

And the times when you kinda squeeze the plastic bottle and it spits dye everywhere you don't want it, or the bottle tips over... Quote
Members BigRiverLeather Posted February 22, 2011 Members Report Posted February 22, 2011 You wouldn't have had to drop it. It's evil black dye and has a mind of it's own. It would have jumped out of the bottle and all over you and your sh!t eventually anyway. Quote
