Members Tina Posted October 12, 2012 Members Report Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Rose is actually a very bright pink. This is the reason I always say, get some diluter to go with them, they're really pigments strong. In the picture I have taken the dye directly out of the bottle and then started to use alcohol/spirit to dilute the dye. This is the resault with light rose (and rose) plus the light blue colors.

Members drphil Posted October 13, 2012 Members Report Posted October 13, 2012 I am curious about their two black colors. Jet black and special black. Anyone know the difference? Thanks! Quote

Members Tina Posted October 18, 2012 Members Report Posted October 18, 2012 Me too would like to know...I have always used the Jet black color (without any problems)...What's "special black" anyone?

Members Rawhide Posted October 19, 2012 Members Report Posted October 19, 2012 Think I found the answer to the special vs. jet black question. The special is described as deeper penetrating. Kind of like Feibings oil dye. From the Angelus website: PRO SERIES LEATHER DYE NO. 505 & SPECIAL DYE BLACK NO. 507 505 and 507 are similar to Angelus Leather Dye Series 500. 505 and 507 have additional ingredients that allow the dye to penetrate hard and/or difficult leathers. Normally for professional use only. Quote Marlon

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. Hi there, does the Angelus rub off the leather after buffing if it not sealed? I have a problem with Fiebings rubbing off. Quote

Thanks for the photos. Man that is a strong pigment. Makes it nice to dilute down a dark brown to something lighter to distress. Quote
Boriqua Posted February 2, 2018 Report Posted February 2, 2018 I really like the vibrancy of the colors in the Angelus. I very much prefer their cordovan and mahogany to Fiebings which I used exclusively for years. The jet black took some getting used to. It is BLACK. Cool as hell especially on Leo gear but I find if I dont cut it at least in half I have to buff the bejez out of it before sealing. It is loaded with pigment. not a bad thing but if you are used to using the fiebings pro black the angelus jet black has a bit of a learning curve. Having said that I will reiterate..... it makes leather black black like you used to see on leather gear cops had back in the 70's. I can apply multiple passes of fiebings pro black and never achieve the black I get from the angelus jet black but whew .. the buff'in! I am going to try the special on my next order. Quote
