Members Tallbald Posted October 5, 2012 Members Report Posted October 5, 2012 I have no doubt this has been covered many times, but the search feature isn't working for me. Is there a way to clean a tiny droplet of dye off tanned leather? I'm thinking that just being more careful is the best answer, but stuff happens. Denatured alcohol leaves a blotch and was a mistake to try. When I use dye to blacken an edge, let it dry then burnish with gum trag, I also get splatters at times that I can't get off. Simple sklls sometimes elude me and I'm sorry. Dang I wish everybody wanted blackened leather, which is visually my favorite anyway. Thanks. Don Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 6, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted October 6, 2012 I have used alcohol and deglazer on a q-tip to do this. I have also used liquid latex (mold/model maker supplies) to pull dye out. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."
