Members lowlife Posted January 21, 2013 Members Report Posted January 21, 2013 Ok my daughter wants a PINK dog collar with zebra stripes for her Weimaraner. I got the zebra thing figured out but just cant figure out how to get a good solid pink. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and wanted Kehl Quote "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

Members WinterBear Posted January 21, 2013 Members Report Posted January 21, 2013 A couple of users have said they liked Angelus dyes, and got pure deep colors from them. Angelus makes both a paint and a dye, but I think you'd want the dye for a dog collar as it has better penetration. http://turtlefeathers.net/text/angelus/dye.html They've suggested diluting the Angelus and applying the dilute dye in several coats until the desired shade is reached. I have also managed to make a shocking magenta by mistake with Feibing's red dye that I had diluted with alcohol. I finally figured out that I managed to pick up a bare touch of blue into the diluted red and it turned the veg tan that color the following day. It was a brilliant red the day I applied the dye and it dried, and magenta the next. Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
electrathon Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Fiebings red diluted with alchol. Very pink. Quote
Members TomG Posted January 28, 2013 Members Report Posted January 28, 2013 Agreed... Dilute red with alcohol,,,,,,, LOTS of alcohol... Start at 50 parts alcohol to 1 part red spirit dye. Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft

Members Tina Posted January 29, 2013 Members Report Posted January 29, 2013 Here's a link to the same topic, I did post some sampe of how the Angelus pink looks in different dilutions: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=35975&hl=%2Bangelus+%2Bpink+%2Bdye Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
