Not enough coffee in me. The previous post should read "On so many levels". I should not type before waking.

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?

LMAO!  Same here!  Frisket has been used in water color and other media for a long time.  Hobby lobby, Dick Blicks and Michaels all carry it.

I embrace my spirit dyes.

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.

No benzine in leather dyes. Only spirits including ethanol and isopropyl alcohol.

As for other spirits:

Yikes!! That doll looks a lot like me :blink:  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.
