AussieMade Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLSleather Report post Posted September 8, 2016 Got kids? 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtclod Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
