Will Regular Lexol Conditioner Undo Pro Oil Dye?

[pman]

i want to double check before i potentially botch the whole leather bag.

I'm almost done dyeing the bag with black pro oil dye, which seems to have absorbed nicely.

Some places are a little dry, so i was planning to use lexol later.

will lexol wash out the pro oil dye? or is it safe to use?

i read in some messages that lexol makes dye bleed out.

To eliminate the worry of botching the whole job, do a test on a piece of the same leather with the Oli Dye on it. Be sure it's allowed to dry well before you apply the Lexol, of course.

If you've rubbed the dyed surface well to remove any "dye stuffs" I doubt if you'll have a problem.

i used a plastic bag over my hands, and applied lexol conditioner on some pro oil dyed leather, which dried for 48 hours.

The lexol does lift some dye out. I saw some black on the plastic bag.

i guess all oils will cause dye to bleed somewhat ??

as long as water does not make it bleed, I'm ok with it.

the dye was applied to my mom's purse, so it absolutely must not bleed if there is rain.

don't want the black rubbing off on her clothes.

my order of resolene should be arriving any day now.

The trick to avoid that running of dye is rub down the dyed leather after it has dried overnight, and before you hit it with the conditioner. There is typically excess dye on the surface, rubbing down the piece with a clean cloth or sheep's wool till nothing comes off is what you need to be doing to avoid that "bleeding" problem.

After dyeing and drying (it must be dry), I buff with a horsehair brush and a loose wheel buff, to remove the leftover dye. I have not had any problem with Lexol, or Bag Kote, or Tan Kote, or Pecard's, or Montana Pitchblend, or Leather Balm with Atom Wax Neutral. But you have to buff EVERYTHING.
