Did I ruin it?

[ImStupid]

I was given a medium brown Brighton purse that had stains all over it.  So I tried dyeing it.  Here are the steps I took:

1. cleaned it with Dove soap
2. brushed it with nail polish remover
3. stained it Angelus jet black

I didnt have enough dye to cover it completely so the dye was a tad splotchy.

4. used kiwi leather conditioner

This is where things go south

5. applied a liberal coating of black Kiwi shoe polish

I thought it would even out the color.  It looks nice but after rubbing it with cotton rags for 2 hours the polish is still coming off onto the cloth.  I let it sit for a day with the same result.  What should I do?

Run it thru the washing machine with a load of whites.. then 2-3 heavy coats of black sharpie. Finish with your kiwi leather conditioner

That sounds sorta of extreme and expensive.  I have a $2 buffing wheel and a drill.  I'm going in.

So I bought a magic eraser sponge from the dollar store to remove some of the excess shoe polish.  It seemed to work ok.  Then I hit it with the buffing wheel.  Still have the same issue.  I will try the resolene and report back.  Thanks

naw, you missed it.

I wrote up a to-do but the o/p rejected it so I deleted it.

Resolene will seal it and it won't rub off any more . . . . at least where you will notice it.

It will rub off, . . . but in incredibly small amounts . . . you'll never know when it happens.

Takes a couple coats . . . thin it 50/50 with tap water.

May God bless,
