shakygreg Report post Posted May 4, 2011 Hey Guys. A buddy of mine wants some elk moccasins, but he wants them in a sort of burnt orange color...Is it possible to dye/stain this Golden Elk into this color. Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillB Report post Posted May 20, 2011 If I were going to do such a thing I would: 1. Get some orange Leather Dye from Fiebings. It is an alcohol based dye. 2. Mix several different solutions of Dye and Reducer with various mix ratios. 3. Take a scrape of the Elk and dye small sections of it with each of the solutions to see if you can get to the color you want. It may take several applications of a weaker solution, than a single shot of a strong solution. 4. If you can find the right solution, then you can dye the Mocs. 5. You will now have the problem of using something to get the elk back to its original soft form since the alcohol will dry it out and probably make it stiff. Good Luck. If you are successful you should post some pictures as well as explaining how you achieved the color you ended with. BillB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
