Members LeatherLyfe Posted October 3, 2020 Members Report Posted October 3, 2020 Hey folks, relatively new to leather and looking for some advice before I invest in my next hide. I have so far been working with natural vegtan and dyeing it with acrylic dye, but I'm interested in purchasing a drum-dyed vegtan hide but am curious as to how the additional tallows and waxes from the dyeing process will affect the vegtan's properties. I'd like to experiment with using my airbrush to stencil designs onto black vegtan with acrylic dye. Will a black dyed vegtan absorb the dye the same way that natural vegtan would? Is there a specific variety of dyed vegtan that would suit me better than others (ex. harness vs bridle)? Thank you! Quote
