Just because Tandy's WEBSITE says they are out, does not mean a local store doesn't have a bottle sitting on the shelf. 

From what I can tell, there are only 3 Tandy stores left in Canada.  And while I agree that it's possible one of them does have a bottle of the dye in stock, the shipping would certainly cost more than the dye itself.  I do have some dye (not the best kind I'm told) and I will try to get the Fiebing's when I next need to order something so that the shipping costs are spread over several items.  And it's possible that I've found an online place in Ottawa which may have the dye in stock (at least their website says they do).

Current machines: Janome HD3000 and Skyline S5, Consew 206RB-5, Singer Profinish serger, Techsew 2750 PRO, Sailrite LSZ-1 Premium, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

Because I've been told that for wet moulding (what I want to do) only natural untreated veg tan leather works.

I've been wet molding colored bridle leather for years.  It works just fine.

I have also molded harness leather and latigo by putting it in the microwave for 15 seconds before molding.  The heat softens up the oils and waxes for molding and when they cool they stiffen and help the leather hold its shape.
