Removing Fiebing's Oil Dye From Skin?

[BondoBobCustomSaddles]

I know all the environmentalists and chemical freaks will winch, however; I use the same stuff I keep around the shop for a lot of uses, laquer thinner. I have been using it for so many years both at work and home I suffer from withdrawl if I don't get a wiff of it once and a while!!! I do; however; use surgical gloves when I am dying leather. You ca get a box cheap at the dollar store, and they are really handy.

There is an article from the RawHide Gazette:

ReDuRan Hand Cleaner

Something else we got from Tony Laier was a hand cleaner for removing dye from your hands. Paula tried it and it really works well, so we ordered some, which just arrived today. It is ReDuRan which is made in Germany by Stoko. The web site is www.stoko.com They have an outlet in England. Their web site is rather interesting with all the cleaning stuff that they have...

To locate a local distributor, just Google this text: "reduran hand cleaner"

Hope this helps.

Put on a pair of rubber gloves and hand sew something for about an hour. The sweat mixed with the rubbing action from the gloves does a really good job of removing dye.

I soak a paper towel in a bit of acetone, not the healthiest thing to do but it works great.
