I made this holster about a week ago. I tried to dye it black, but it did not ever get black. I am using water based eco something that I got at Tandy. What the heck did I do wrong? Any other critique would be gladly accepted as I am new to this.

If I was you I would throw that Randy stuff in the garbage. I use fiebeings USMC black dye and have never had problems.

I agree with Glockanator, the Eco-Flow is terrible to work with. I picked up some acorn brown a long time ago because I could get it local ( and I didn't have the patience to wait for my order) and it seemed like it was drying on the leather before I had a chance to wipe it off. I havent used it since. I also tried the Fiebing in regular black but even after it dried it smelled solventy, maybe I put too much on? Now I use the Angelus dyes, the only difference, they come in 3oz where the Fiebings comes in 4oz and for certain colors you can get up to 32oz.

I'd avoid the USMC. It bleeds forever. Fiebing's Pro Oil works fantastic.
