Is it possible to dye latigo edges.

Those gray edges are not attractive.

I have been burnishing them but I do not like the color.

Yes I dye my latigo edges all the time

I find the dye takes a little longer to dry completely before it stops rubbing but I dye them all the time. I dont seem to get as nice and slick a burnish as veg tan but maybe when I finally spring for leather burnishers for my dremel I will get better results. But sure .... go and dye no worries.

No problem .. that is Fiebings dye. I have never tried it with water based dyes.

I would think water based dyes wouldn't work as well on latigo because it is impregnated with oils.
