Working with Dyes and finishes

Recommended Posts

I've just started using some leather dyes (specifically eco flo leather dye and fiebings pro dye). On my first few projects I just used some leather balm over top of whatever color the scrap piece I was using. I'm currently making a couple of dog collars out of 7-8oz vegtan and have a few questions as to the process and precautions. Is it better to dip dye or brush dye? If I do brush dye, should I leave the back natural or dye the back also? After buffing the excess dye off, is using leather balm as a finish adequate or are there certain types of finishes I need to use to make sure the color doesn't bleed off?
