Timber Brown Ecoflo Dye Turning Green?!

[uscglechief]

Yeah it didn't work for me either.

I did try just that myself, to no effect at all. Actually, I think it may be a problem of too little dye. Thinner pieces of leather came out brown, while thicker ones turned green. To me, it feels like some of the redder pigments were "sucked" away from the surface, leaving green pigment behind. Unfortunately, adding more dye did not yield any positive effects either. I have since switched to Fiebings, and am having no issues whatsoever.

I might go back to the book, but I seem to recall that the advice was to give a "wash" of pink before applying. I remember the greenish color, but don't remember if it was brown they were talking about or how much precolor they suggested.

Just take the Timber Brown back to your Tandy store - they had a recall on a bad batch and should exchange it for you ....

Niki,

How long are you dipping your work ? We have found if we leave our work too long (especially light browns, saddle tans, ect) it will take too much dye and turn green.

So maybe you are just putting too much dye on your project. Just a thought......
