Members chouinardragon Posted October 3, 2011 Members Report Posted October 3, 2011 Hello guys, I recently found that Abbey Saddlery selling dye powders for edge finishing. I don't know what are they used for? Mix it with tallow,wax etc? Any one knows? Chris Quote
Members celticleather Posted October 4, 2011 Members Report Posted October 4, 2011 Chris I used to use these dyes for all of my leatherwork, and I still use a few today. The powder is mixed with methylated spirit (denatured alcohol), and I use a 5ml teaspoonful of powder in 300ml of spirit. The colour can be made stronger or weaker by varying the proportions.
