A gentleman that I learned his technique from uses dry sponges and spirit dyes to get the same effects. Of course ask 10 leather workers how they block dye and get 10 different answers. Which is why I love what we do.

I use a glove and a sock over my hand that way I can control the dye better. Just tip the jug over or bottle and hold your hand tight over it...squeeze your hand together and start rubbing very lightly until you have the flow. It is better than block dying in my opinion. I have a black, brown, red brown sock and the more you use them the better they get.

At least now I know that getting you socks for Xmas is a good idea!!!

Emergency Room Nurse by profession.......Leatherworker at heart!!

Hoping to reverse the order in that one of these days!!

I just keep sending him my old used ones. I'm pretty sure they're getting thrown out at the border though as a "hazardous" material. :rofl:

If you want to - do it!!

But, I'm sure there are some videos out there somewhere. I think everyone should just experiment and find the method that works best for their process :)

I agree experimenting is good, but it's nice to have ideas on how others do it to then do my own experimenting. Socks... maybe I'll chop up some old cotton tea towels.
