P030594 Report post Posted May 21, 2014 Hi this is my first project. So if you have any suggestions on how to make it better let me know. I am having trouble with sweat or water stains on the leather when I dye it. Any help is appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mato Report post Posted May 22, 2014 hi looks good to me but what dye are you using i had a similar problem using the eco flow water base dye switch to oil dye and found it 100% better if it is water based try giving it a light spray of water first i found it helps the leather absorb the the dye better otherwise get an air brush setup and try that.
