I had a couple holsters, that due to poor casing process, I didn't like the final product. I've used the holster a lot and several people have thought they looked great. Sometimes I believe we become over hard on ourselves if the end project doesn't meet our expectations.

My first instinct would be that you "hung" it after you sprayed it, . . .

I always lay my holsters down flat after dying, . . . otherwise I get exactly what you got, . . . light on the top, . . . dark on the bottom where the stain migrated.

I learned about that several years ago, . . . made a bunch of belts, . . . all the same day, . . . had my brain dis-engaged, . . . only the black ones were up to par. All the brown ones were very dark at the buckle end, . . . light at the tongue end, . . . cause that was the way I hung them when I drug em through the dye tank.

I'd just dye it black, . . . put a coat of Resolene on it and sell it, . . . it should look real good then.

May God bless,

I had one come out similar a while back. But I kind of mottle my browns anyway, I like the extra character of it. But every little nick, bug bite, weird spot, and dimple took the dye darker. Looked freckled. It was for a buddy so I just walked it over to his place. He loved it. lol
