Members TonyP Posted October 7, 2018 Members Report Posted October 7, 2018 Hi folks, I've been doing leather work off and on for many years but have a question someone might have an answer to. I recently found a fairly inexpensive source of upholstery leather (unused full hides) but some of the colors are pretty bad (putting it politely). I've never worked with this before and wondered if it's possible to stain it and if so, what would be recommended. Thanks for your time, Tony Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted October 7, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted October 7, 2018 I once got [and still have most of it] a great load of upholstery leather. If yours is anything like mine, it has a lacquer finish over the colour. I use lacquer thinners to cut thru this. With mine the only options then are to dye it black or a shade of brown Quote
