Members Treesner Posted February 6, 2019 Members Report Posted February 6, 2019 Are these spots in the leather normal after dying cheaper leather? Think this is Tandy craftsman. If this is not normal it could be that the spots are from how I wet the leather using a spray bottle before dying? Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 It's the leather. You may try oxacilic (spelling?) acid to clean the next batch before dying, but I doubt it will help. This is just why good leather costs more. 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.
alpha2 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 Also, note how when items are cut to exact final size before dyeing, they aren't so much after dyeing! Cut a bit oversize, dye and dry, then cut to final size. Hope this helps. Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.
