Members AussieMade Posted September 8, 2016 Members Report Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) So making a dog collar last night, I learnt five things while using dyes..... 1. Wear gloves 2. Remember to put lid back on bottle 3. Ox Blood dye looks good on our polished wood table, if only it was the whole table 4. Should have worn gloves while cleaning it up 5. My partner is not happy, but likes the colour lol Edited September 8, 2016 by AussieMade Quote
bikermutt07 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Posted September 8, 2016 Live and learn. When I was still working in the kitchen I always stained on the porch. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

I'd put a table runner or carving board, or something there - before the kids make sandwiches right there. Purdy sure oxblood is not food-safe Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

dirtclod Posted September 8, 2016 Report Posted September 8, 2016 Cardboard boxes are free. I use them all the time to dye on. One side for black other side for the rest of the colors. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Members metroplexchl Posted September 9, 2016 Members Report Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) I learned the hard way too brother! I now lay down cardboard and wear latex gloves.
