DaveP Report post Posted May 11, 2020 Do you have to case/ dampen veg tan leather to apply pro dye? Before I read about dampening the leather I tried a test piece dry. It actually looks better than the one I did dampened. To me anyway. It's their chocolate pro dye. It came out a nice chocolate color. Once I dampened the actual piece it came out almost black. Anything wrong with putting on dry leather? Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rleather Report post Posted May 11, 2020 I have been dying leather since the seventies, and I have never put dye on wet leather, no issues yet! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garypl Report post Posted May 11, 2020 I never apply oil dyes to wet leather - only dry. Water based dyes should not be a problem on damp leather. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
