NVLeatherWorx Posted August 7, 2016 Report Posted August 7, 2016 As a matter of fact I have done an oil application prior to applying the dye and it helped a great deal with getting an even looking finish. Still had some inconsistencies with the lesser brands of leather but nowhere near the look that you would get without it being done. Only thing about oiling prior to the dye application is that you can get some serious rub-off with those dyes that seem to have more "leftover" pigment residue (such as: black, saddle tan, ALL of the regular spirit dyes) so you have to give it a little extra love with the polishing rag.
