I recommend using RTC Sheridan Resist & Finish. Apply using a horse hair brush and leave to dry for 24 hours and then reapply another layer. After 24 hours you can test the leather by using a cloth to see how much dye rubs off. It should be almost no dye on the cloth.
I learned this some back and it IS the only way of preferred dyeing. I use aluminum tins that way you can crease a side to pour back into the container without a funnel and simply throw it out or store it and use it again. And you don’t piss your wife off using all her Tupperware😅
Yoo. I was thinking the same. I have a brown leather wallet I want to dye black Can I just immerse the whole wallet in the container like you did? Would it be a problem?
The only problem I’d see is trying to seal the inside of the pockets. If not sealed the dye will bleed onto your cards and clothing. They do make a spray, but it might be difficult to get everything sealed.
@@MyLaserHub I wonder why leather workers don't use painter's tape for straight edges. Just thinking about taping the inside pockets reminded me of it.
@@davidt1621 because the dye is absorbed through the leather and sneaks under the tape. Plus most tape has a solvent in the adhesive that leaves yucky shit all over the surface. You can get solvent free and low tack masking tape for laser application but it’s expensive and doesn’t stop dye from spreading
