thunter9 Report post Posted April 20, 2016 at times I feel I'm needing to relearn how to do leather work. . I started doing this type of work 50 years ago. got some what removed 35 years ago, now I want to do it again. I'm finishing up a guitar strap ,all they wanted was their name with the strap dyed black and their name left natural. first should I dye the strap black and being careful and with a paint brush around the lettering. should I use a base coat before I use the fiebing dye or should I use this new oil dye with or not a base dye [ I was taught to use choc. after I get that done what if any should be added to the lettering. then a final coat to seal the dye so it won't bleed like I said I feel like I'm just starting out now if anyone wants to know hot to make a thigh lacer for a prosthetic just ask Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted April 21, 2016 Personally, I would use block out on what you want left natural, let it dry for a day, do a second coat and let it dry for a day then dye it black making sure to wipe off any that gets on the letters immediately Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
