joshua3 Report post Posted March 4, 2016 Hi letahercrafters I wonder what is the best way to seal self dyed laces (to prevent the color go off and make a mess on articles ) Best regards, J.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristy Report post Posted May 7, 2016 Hi JP, I am very much a beginner but found this Instructable really helpful. Hopefully someone with more experience can chip in. For what it's worth, I buy my Kangaroo laces pre cut and dyed, but I still seal them with Eco-Flo Super Shene as my braiding is on handles. This might be overkill, but not having dyed it myself, I can't vouch for stay fastness of the colour and I am very cautious of marking people's skin. Top photo when I am securing the small decorative braid is before using Super Shene, the second photo is afterwards. I had already applied the finish to the black leather slapper before adding the braided band. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sovran81 Report post Posted June 15, 2016 I use shellac on the finished product. Brushed or rubbed very thin. Since it is alcohol based it soaks in and does a good job of both getting through soap or grease and sealing the surface. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
