Pappys Leather Report post Posted March 8, 2022 When applying antique dye on belt how do you keep it from getting on the back of the belt? Or do you also dye the back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GatoGordo Report post Posted March 9, 2022 I just finished a belt last weekend. What I did was to cut the belt, tape the back, stamp, dye, resist, antique, and resist. At this point, I removed the tape, glued on the back of the belt, and finally stitched the two together. I now have a belt with a nice looking outside, while the inside has no dye and no chance of staining my pants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted March 9, 2022 I always dye the back as well as the top. I use a sealer that doesn't allow the dye from getting onto the clothing. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
