All done with a sponge.(Cleaning and the dyeing) I will use as I was thinking of trying to make a pink holster BUT this was not the color I was expecting and dont know if it will duplicate on the next piece I try to dye. Wow! That's...mighty pink, all right! I don't remember my oxblood dyes looking like that! Here's the oxblood of my wallet: That's full strength, not diluted. This is Fiebings Oxblood-- Angelus makes an oxblood too, which you can see here in this other piece (the boar's tongue): Quote \D.

I've found the results I get with Feibings are much closer to Djole. No dilution and get a nice oxblood color consistently, usually hit the leather twice to ensure an even color, but it is very oxblood. I may try the dilution rate you have used though, that is almost a highlighter pink color, cool, but your right not oxblood. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted June 9, 2018 Members Report Posted June 9, 2018 Yeah, I've never thinned it and get a pretty dark shade out of it as well. Quote
Members dougfergy Posted June 3, 2019 Members Report Posted June 3, 2019 Undiluted, it comes out much darker for me. The example is with an antique over it but it was nice and bloody before the antique, not pink! Quote

From this angle, you can't see some blunders! Quote
