rufusjames Report post Posted July 31, 2013 Is drum dyed leather going to have less rub off of the color than spray dying? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Ashman Report post Posted July 31, 2013 I've built two saddles with the Chahin drum dyed leather from Weaver and neither had any rub off. My guess is that other tannery's wouldn't have any rub off either but I don't have any personal experience with them. Good luck, Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rufusjames Report post Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks Josh. fastest response I have received yet on this site. I really appreciate it. I just got an order for a new saddle. He wants chocolate/dk brown color. After spray dying the last one i was nopt happy with the days of rubbing the rough out and still getting some rub off. Maybe it was me. Maybe my technique. Not happy just the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
undeberg Report post Posted August 19, 2013 The drum dyed leather that I have used has never bled off color. I've built several saddles with chocolate leather, and russett and never had them bleed like self dyed leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
