Angelus Dye's ?

[Dogface]

Does anyone have experience with these dyes ? Any good...do that run when they get wet ? Give me a review... I have trouble getting Feibing Pro Oil dye in the People's Republik of Kalifornia.

They have received very good reviews here from many people. I haven't used them personally, though. Take a look at some of the work by member "Tina", and you can see some of the results.

Thanks for that. I'll look for her and some of that dye. I have liked Feibing but must admit that the fumes were not friendly.

Tina here :-)

So far I only use Angelus when it comes to dye and finishers.

The dye is very pigment strong so you need some alcohol/spirit to dilute them with. You can mix as you like and come up with your own colors.

Turtlefeathers is the place I get my dyes and finishers from every time we go over to the US...They have the bigger bottles I like and are qick to ship out orders :-)

Another member who uses Angelus dyes and sings their praises is dickf. You'll usually find him hanging out in the holster section. I've used a bit of them, and like them so far. You should be able to get them in California since that's where they're from. You can order directly from them in various sizes. I'm deciding on what colors to get in order to dip dye my holsters, and will probably order directly from them. I find I dislike the smell of Fiebing's Pro Oil dyes more than Angelus, but the Angelus dyes are definitely strong, just different.

Hi Mark,

I use Angelus dye for almost everything. The dye is more concentrated. Plus they have some stock colors that others dont make. Some of my dilutions are as low as 95% denatured alcohol to 5% dye. I've been getting mine from: http://www.dharmatrading.com/products/ald3.html They are in California,,, so that will help you. Ed

Just adding my two cents. Use Angelus quite often and full strength has never seemed to be a problem. Great selection of colors. Thinning provides some beautiful variations. Like some of the others, for reasons of great service and availability, I use Turtlefeathers.com. Folks there are great to work with.

Hope you have many good experiences when you try them.

TurtleFeathers.net will get you farther than .com will. http://turtlefeather...ngelus/dye.html for dyes.

Here's a place I found while searching the net a few days ago: http://www.leatherheadprojects.com/angelus-products.html

They have Angelus dyes in quart size bottles for only $15. They also carry them in other sizes. I did a "trial run" in their shopping cart, and it looks like they charge a flat rate of $10.95 for shipping. Of course if you buy more than a gallon, I'm sure there's the $25 hazmat fee as well.

They also carry other Angelus products. I haven't bought from them, but those are pretty good prices, and I haven't seen anyone else carrying quart size bottles.

I've used them quite a bit. Same issues with black as others. Rose is actually a very bright pink. I get mine at Dharmatrading in Cali... it's much cheaper for me to get them there than to get them from Turtlefeathers due to shipping. I don't think they have quarts though...
