Members Geneva Posted June 1, 2015 Members Report Posted June 1, 2015 These are some belts I finished last Tuesday. Hope ya' like ukm, the pictures are not great. They are all 1 1/4" wide 9 oz. material. I use tallow before sealing the product with Resolene. The buckles are stinless steel. What do ya' think of the dye job?? I discovered that while trying to make a solid color belt. They all went through the same dye and all came out different patterns. Quote
Contributing Member 24VOLTS Posted June 1, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted June 1, 2015 I like the color! Very interesting on the pattern!! Very Cool !! Gives each belt its own personality!! Where do you get your buckles? Quote
Members Rohn Posted June 1, 2015 Members Report Posted June 1, 2015 Nice looking belts and the dye pattern is cool. Quote
Members Geneva Posted June 1, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 1, 2015 Thank you gentlemen. The buckles are from Beiler's Manufacturing in Ronks, Pa. Quote
Members Dan28 Posted June 1, 2015 Members Report Posted June 1, 2015 Count me in as another fan of the dye job. Quote
Members eransh10 Posted June 1, 2015 Members Report Posted June 1, 2015 Love the dye job. How did you make it happen? What's the secret recipe? Quote
Members Geneva Posted June 3, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 3, 2015 It is 6 parts of Feibings Light Brown Pro oil leather dye and 2 parts of Feibings dark brown regular dye (not pro oil) mixed. The material is veg tanned. I emerced the belt in the mix and drug it through the mix. I did not use a brush to apply it with. Have fun with the dye. Quote
Members jmkjmk2 Posted June 3, 2015 Members Report Posted June 3, 2015 Wow...I'll have to try your dye recipe. Quote
