Also, I'm old and grumpy so nobody expects an old fart to ANYTHING in a hurry --- and I may just decide to go fishing now and then.

Members Reds Leather Posted January 5, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2012 On a busy weekend, we'd be a rockin' in the shop, at least to the point where we would all fall down. Last man standing make sure all the caps are on the containers. Art When i said id give these ideas a try, i was talking about having an adult beverage and this. GREATEST IDEAS YET! Quote

I wonder if you have to shake it up before you go to dying? Just don't go shaking up your beer and drinking your dye.

Just don't go shaking up your beer and drinking your dye. i do, i shake them up before using them. Tonight i finished a belt and used Tan dye to try and see if it would come out brown, but once again i have a red-ish/brown-ish/now tan-ish colored belt. Its extremely aggravating to do the work and then almost feel like i have ruined it once i threw some dye on it.... Quote

Its extremely aggravating to do the work and then almost feel like i have ruined it once i threw some dye on it.... Yesterday I finished my belt with Tandy's bison brown dye and got kinda grey-dark green instead of any kind of color I could call brown.... This should give us a hope as seem they have very broad spectrum of colors which they just don't know how to call and thus just in case put "blabla-BROWN" label onto it Edited January 7, 2012 by Suicide Quote My leatherwork gallery
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 7, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted January 7, 2012 Fiebing's spirit dyes have always had a bit of a reddish tint. If you don't like the red tint, add a bit (just a bit) of green to the mix .... this will "kill" the red. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members oldtimer Posted January 7, 2012 Members Report Posted January 7, 2012 "Horrible Trouble Dying I JUST CANT GET IT RIGHT" Dying often comes naturally and happens only once in a lifetime, so brother, be cool! / Knut Quote "The gun fight at the O.K. corral was actually started by two saddlemakers sitting around a bottle of whiskey talking about saddle fitting"...
