Dunluce Report post Posted August 29, 2017 So I picked up a bargain pair of quality leather shoes at TK Maxx but I am not in love with the colour and want to dye them black. I know I have to deglaze them first, but will my Feibings dye be good for dying them or is there some sort of specialist dye I should be using? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted August 29, 2017 As long as you really cut through the top glaze Feibling should be ok. On jobs such as this I use cellulose thinners to really remove the top glaze, especially in any nooks and crannies. And give it a really good sealing afterwards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dunluce Report post Posted August 29, 2017 Frdk, I am thinking cellulose thinners to remove the glaze, then dye, then mink oil to rejuvenate the leather and finally shoe cream and wax polish. How does that sound? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
