Adding Another Coat.

Recommended Posts

Hey friends!

Quick questions!

How long should I wait before adding a second laying of dye to my piece? Or does it depend on the color/dye I use?

Thanks!

Hey Austyn,

You don't need to let the leather dry before applying a second coat but....

The advantage to letting the dye dry is that if you are trying to achieve a certain shade (light/dark), it's easier to see what you need to do (either apply another coat or not) if you just let the leather dry...

When the leather is still wet after being dyed, the color tends to look different (often darker) than it will after it has dried....

I give it overnight, sometimes a couple of days. It'll look blotchy until it's completely dry.
