chouinardragon Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celticleather Report post 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.
