Members bullmoosepaddles Posted May 5, 2018 Members Report Posted May 5, 2018 Not enough coffee in me. The previous post should read "On so many levels". I should not type before waking. Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted May 5, 2018 Author Moderator Report Posted May 5, 2018 Lol! I understand fully! On my second coffee of the day already. Quote Learnleather.com
Members Sheilajeanne Posted May 5, 2018 Members Report Posted May 5, 2018 LOL, I know what you mean! I'm not a red-head, but have enough Celtic genes to need sunscreen when I go outside in summer. Is Frisket for leather only, or can you buy it in other craft stores? Quote

Frisket has been used in water color and other media for a long time. Hobby lobby, Dick Blicks and Michaels all carry it. Quote Learnleather.com

Members YinTx Posted May 5, 2018 Members Report Posted May 5, 2018 I watched that whole video, waiting to see dye go on and to see the peel come off. Felt somehow denied the satisfaction. Otherwise, awesome video, and great info, thanks for sharing! YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo
Members BadDaditood Posted May 7, 2018 Members Report Posted May 7, 2018 very cool, thanx! Be Super careful with benzine, the vapors are deadly Quote
bikermutt07 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Posted May 7, 2018 I embrace my spirit dyes. 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 BDAZ Posted May 7, 2018 Members Report Posted May 7, 2018 No benzine in leather dyes. Only spirits including ethanol and isopropyl alcohol. As for other spirits: . Quote
Members BadDaditood Posted May 7, 2018 Members Report Posted May 7, 2018 Yikes!! That doll looks a lot like me before you poke pins in it, let me explain-- in immiketoo's video he mentions cleaning his brushes with benzene. I did a quickie wiki and it turns out there's benzene and benzine. While both are highly flammable volatiles, wiki says "...not to be confused with..." In a nutshell: Benzine is known as petroleum ether because it is so light, and is used as a solvent. Benzene is petrochemical, used as an industrial solvent. It gives gasoline it's sweet smell and is a carcinogen. It's vapors are so nasty it was replaced by toluene which has also been removed from most products like the glue people used to sniff. A respirator is recommended for both. Quote
