Members JenGranger Posted January 16, 2017 Members Report Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Excluding Eco-Flo, what dye brand makes the prettiest, truest purple? I'm afraid of ending up with something that looks like grape Kool-Aid. Edit: while I'm at it, does anyone know who makes a pretty teal and turquoise? Edited January 16, 2017 by JenGranger Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I just started using fiebings spirit dye in purple this was 50/50 with water. This is what it looks like after a tiny bit of neatsfoot oil. I haven't used the other colors. Edited January 19, 2017 by bikermutt07 Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members cjartist Posted January 19, 2017 Members Report Posted January 19, 2017 I think you will have a hard time getting a true and bright purple due to the color of the leather you start with. Fiebings and Angelus are the only I know of. I would definitely try to use a really pale leather to start with.
