Members DoogMeister Posted March 27, 2023 Members Report Posted March 27, 2023 have only used 91% isopropyl alcohol with good results. Quote
Members Eirewolf Posted March 29, 2023 Members Report Posted March 29, 2023 Thanks so much everyone! I will try the isopropyl alcohol. If anyone else has experience using it to cut dyes (or has more suggestions for other alternatives), I'd love to hear about it!

Moderator bruce johnson Posted March 30, 2023 Moderator Report Posted March 30, 2023 I never used anything but isopropyl rubbing alcohol for thinning dyes. It is dirt cheap and available at every corner drug store. When I was doing leather a bunch, I'd buy it by the gallon. I never saw a difference between the rubbing alcohol and higher percentages with my dye formulas.

Members cord1974 Posted April 6, 2023 Members Report Posted April 6, 2023 I think it was Aaron from Makers who said Peter Main uses rubbing alcohol as a dye reducer. I've used it in the past as well denatured alcohol. I can't tell any difference. Quote
