Members YinTx Posted December 27, 2016 Members Report Posted December 27, 2016 SheilaJeanne, Thank you. The lined and stitched valet trays were done with eco flow dyes, worked into the leather as shown by the gentleman in the video. First time I ever used the dye, I just tried to apply it to the surface like an oil based dye, and it looked caked and terrible. However, after I learned to lightly dampen the leather then to rub the dye in and work it like oh... say, lotion, until it was absorbed by the leather, and wiped the excess off, and buffed dry, things began to look much much better, to the point that I really kind of liked it. Now that I understand how to use it, I can select what type of dye I want to use based on the product I am making. Venator, I can't imagine air brushing it, I'd like to see a video of how that worked and the finished product since you have had success doing it that way.

I have a growing collection of their dyes, since they come in a wide variety of colors which cuts down on the mixing, and I think they match Fiebing's in good results. I only keep Eco-Flo stuff around for working with kids. Contact Turtle Feathers Inc. They ship internationally and carry a large selection of Angelus products at good prices. Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted December 27, 2016 Author Members Report Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Thank you! And now I find out from Barry King Leather that WyoSheen is no longer available! http://www.sheridanleather.com/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=Wyosheen What else would people recommend as a resist for colouring leather, other than Eco-Flo products?

Did you use the Pro dye, or the regular Eco-Flo? DJDole, I went to their website, and the first thing I saw was "Does not ship outside the U.S...." So, so much for that product! Ah, I didn't think to look at where you are posting from! Whoops... Well, a quick search finds some Canadian sources for you: <http://www.longviewleather.com/angelus-dyes/> in Alberta Amazon.ca has Angelus dyes for sale also. Look on this thread for some more possibilities: Quote \D. Jole \ --> <http://djole.altervista.org/djole/Publications/Leather/Lindex.htm>
