Randy Cornelius Report post Posted January 3, 2009 The shark I have been getting in black seems to be a crome tan type leather. I have not bought any lighter colors and have not tried to dye it but I would think that oil dye would work well. I would try it on a small scrap. As expensive as it is I would not want to ruin it.

whinewine Report post Posted January 4, 2009 I have some vegetable tanned shark that dyes very well with spirit dyes in the darker colors. Probably the eco flos would work also, but would need to be sealed against moisture that might cause it to run. russ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grunt Report post Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) I have been buying shark that comes in a reddish-brown color. I have had great success dying it black with vinegaroon. It smells like pickled fish for a little while but it goeas away as it dries. Edited January 4, 2009 by Grunt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
