Fiebing's Low VOC black dye vs. pro dye?

[veritasleather]

Hey guys! I don't know if this has already been a topic. Has anyone compared Fiebing's Low VOC vs.  their pro dye? I KNOW pro is the best! but here in Cali. its getting harder to get the pro dye. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the pros and cons when compared? Other than the harmful fumes of course. I guess I am asking performance wise.

thank you all!

ok, I did my own test, I know most of you don't have to deal with this problem because you're not in CA. But i did test out the LOW VOC black Fiebings dye and I gotta say it was a pretty bad experience. I dyed a strap, let it dry 24 hours. I came back and it ended up pretty blotchy. And when I went to buff the cotton shirt I used ended up black with dye. I had to re-dye with pro oil black dye (Fiebings) again. After this, I had no problem, like night and day. Well, hope this helps someone.

Awesome, thanks for that.  I just got some waterstain (Fenice) in black that I'm going to try out... I've heard that you can dye a holster with it and dip it to wet mold, and no bleed.  Am hoping to use it for things like belt liners... if anyone has experience with this, it would be nice to know too.

Can you get the WaterStains in CA?
