Members OLDNSLOW Posted December 12, 2017 Members Report Posted December 12, 2017 If you have an air brush set up that might be the way to go, if not get a hold of a 20% off coupon from Harbor Freight and buy one of the cheap set up that they have the work ok. But until then cut your dies 50/50 with denatured alcohol and that will reduce the pigmentation the dies, fiebings is know for adding extra to there colors. Once you die something with the die you will just need to add oil back in to replenish what the alcohol removes!! Quote
Members midwestislander Posted December 12, 2017 Members Report Posted December 12, 2017 When I dye a wallet exterior I usually use a rag/towel to apply, not oversaturating it, then blot on paper towel. Multicoats. On the inside, do the same thing, though with a drier rag, multicoats going "with the grain. This way I can dye outside brown, tan, mahogany (my favorite) and black inside. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted December 13, 2017 Author Members Report Posted December 13, 2017 @OLDNSLOW I do indeed have an airbrush setup, the exact Harbor Freight 20% off coupon struck me about 6 months ago ;-) @midwestislander I think I may try that on future thin leather wallets since this was the beginning of the end for this wallet. If the inside dye wouldn't have been so copious I wouldn't have tried to fix it. Thanks to everybody for the advise! Quote
