Coverage Amounts With Dyes And Stains

[WildStallionLeather]

I am looking for a chart or list of different coverage amounts for all the different dyes and stains. Any ideas on how I can obtain that? I tried googling it but nothing really good came up.

I think there are way too many variables to get reliable coverage rates. What is your goal?

This is a question that is impossible to answer. Various methods of application will use different amounts. I mostly airbrush and this uses probably the least amount of stain. That being said, I also thin my stain to make the color I want. I can take dark brown and make a 1000 different shades by using different amount of pure stain and mix it with alcohol. I would suggest to buy stain by the quart in the basic colors such as dark brown, dark tan, USMC black etc. These 3 colors I use 99% of the time. I have about every color out their but these 3 are the basics.
