Members KimRulien Posted November 23, 2008 Members Report Posted November 23, 2008 Here are pics of the project with the stitching almost done. I decided to go ahead and complete it. My husband Tim said it looks "aged" and that I should only say something to the customer if she asks (at which point I'll say "leather accepts dyes differently and sometimes spotting occurs" or something to that affect) I like the aged look to be honest! I think it is awsome. I had to dye some buffalo that was already dyed brown, and I wanted it black...I did not have acetone to use so I tried fingernail polish remover (cheap dollar store version) I did a quick rub down and it worked really well and accepted the black dye with out it pooling on the surface... Probably not a profesional 1st choice, but it did work and was scented of lemon LOL! Quote Rulien's Lost Muse Guitar Straps www.ruliens.com kimberlie@ruliens.com
