How to Dilute Pro Dye with water (use Borax)

Thanks so much fredk.   After reading some of the other posts I figured that dipping would be a idea.  Need to work out that process as the shop is very small.   Which spray unit are you using?  $20 is a reasonable cost.  I'll pass this along.

Is there a good process for dyeing large pieces.  When replacing a stirrup leather and fender it needs to be dyed to match the other fender. When we smooth the dye over the raw leather it streaks.  We are using Fiebings but I'm not sure if she is using pro or regular.'  It takes so much dye to dip... so are there any other good ideas for  making this process turn out better.  

Personally I avoid dye jobs like the plague.  For repair jobs like you are talking about, I will choose the tannery-dyed leather that comes the closest to the original color, and oil until it matches as closely as possible.  Saves me time, money, and I usually end up with a better job than if I had tried dyeing the leather.  Only if someone wants a two-tone job, or if the desired color is so far off anything I have available will I dye a whole piece.
