Working with leather smelly?

Recommended Posts

I'm rather sensitive to strong smells. 

Dying and all that kind of thing, does that smell bad or our not?  Do you need ventilation or our there dyes out there that don't smell?

I'd recommend ventilation. The good dyes like driving oil dyes and such do smell and aren't good to breathe. You could try ecoflo dyes and waterstains. It's just my preference and opinion that I don't really care for them. The dyes aren't bad I just prefer feibings. 

Also, if you use contact cement it's good to have ventilation. That is nasty stuff. I can't remember the name of it but there is a water based cement that Lisa Sorrell uses and sells. You may want to check it out.
