How to prevent leather from making stains?

[Frankzweekhorst]

In the process of making custom shoes I found out that my leather (vegetable natural tanned) painted with royal blue Fiebing's Pro Dye stains on the rubber sole, on my hands and on the white wax yarn. Anyone know what would be the preferred way to solve this problem?

All help we be very much appreciated!

Have a great day!

Have you tried diluting the dye before using it? Or maybe just buffing it a lot. I think the diluting will cut down the pigment concentration and keep it from rubbing off so much. You'll still need to buff it but maybe not as much.
