I’m just getting into working with veg tan and im have issues with it not dyeing evenly I’ve been using feibings stains/dyes and the instructions says something about using a cleaner before dyeing but it doesn’t say what the cleaner I should use? Or should I be using different dye?

1. Feibings does a 'dye prep'. Wet a rag with it and wipe it over the surface of the leather. It should leave a trace of wetness that evaporates almost immediately

2. other cleaners can be, oxalic acid, vinegar & water, lacquer thinner (aka cellulose thinners), methylated spirits ( or any alcohol)

3. a. before dyeing dilute your dye. b. wet your leather. c. apply the diluted dye, d. allow this to almost dry completely,  e.repeat c and d until colour density is reached then let dry completely
