Does Applying Neatsfoot Prior To Dyeing Even Out The Penetration Of The Dye?

Curious about this.

It helps. If you apply really unevenly it's not going to do much, but it helps for a little bit of an "off" application. I use it a lot on black also for those times where some spots show up lighter than others. Just put some light oil over the top and let it settle to even out some of the color.

One time it REALLY helps get a good dye job is when you're airbrushing your color in. The oil helps pull the dye in a little deeper, which will help prevent any future scratches from showing undyed leather.

Looking around and found the post. Do you apply neatsfoot, dye, then sew?
