Members alfredleatherworks Posted January 9, 2015 Members Report Posted January 9, 2015 I do not usually revive posts that are so old, but I found this today and though I would share it here. The article is well written, and the testing this man does convinces me that the Ecoflow Waterstain product line is well-worth my money. He shows the results of wet and dry applications, and an abrasive test (both bare, and with protective finishes).

Members Kristina Posted April 19, 2017 Members Report Posted April 19, 2017 I have a lot of success with this product. I apply it in the traditional way and am wanting to explore using it with a spray gun. I am wondering if anyone has a recommended ratio of water to stain when using a spray gun? I am looking to use a siphon-feed detail spray gun. Thanks for any feedback! Quote

I am looking to use a siphon-feed detail spray gun. Thanks for any feedback! I did a hide a while back. I was recovering some stools. I used a suction feed Develbis paint gun. I diluted the Waterstain (or Fenice Dye as it is called before Tandy relabels it) about half with water. I was able to get very even coverage with the paint gun. I used most of the bottle on the veg tanned hide. An interesting point with the Dye /Stain definition, the ONLY reason this is a stain and not a dye is because Tandy decided to call it that. Dye is a synonym for stain. Quote

I JUST got a Paasche H-SET Single-Action Siphon Feed Airbrush Set. It was recommended to me by a family member who is a leatherworker. I'll give your ratio recommendation a try. I, too, am using it on veg tanned leather. Quote
