Tc1388 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 Hi all, I’ve been painting leather various colors using Angelus brand paint mixed with a little bit of water using daubers. Not sure whether or not to try the switch to traditional dye and then coat with paint? I’ve been getting some unwanted thicker paint puddles in the middle of my work after drying. Also my biggest question is “dyeing” veg tanned leather white. Anyone have any input or tips? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billybopp Report post Posted September 13, 2019 Fiebings sells (or at least used to) a white "dye". It's garbage. You can get white leather, and that's fine. Otherwise, stick with paint. - Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tc1388 Report post Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks for the input. Use paints now to “dye” it. White leather just seems like a pain... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
