Dark edge

[Troy I]

I've had this happen on the edges of a lot of my holsters and slings, expecially the light browns and tans...I use Wickett & Craig leather...if you let it sit for a day or two it will even out some...when I wet form the holster, the discoloration on the edges fades and evens out to match the rest of the holster.

You also might want to try and dunk your dried, dyed leather in some water for about 5 to 10 seconds, and then let it dry for a day or two, it might even out.

Word of caution..after you take the leather out of the water, keep rubbing your hand over the leather until all the water is absorbed...if you let water sit on top of the leather it will create dark spots.

As for your dark spots at the bottom of the leather..you might want to take a clean rag with a little rubbing alcohol on it and lightly go over the spot to try and blend it in with the rest of the leather...this sometimes works and sometimes might make it worse...it's your call.

Good luck.

The difference between a beginner and an experienced craftsman is that a craftsman has learned how to hide his mistakes.

A master craftsman has learned how to make mistakes a design feature.
