2. Benefits of using oil leather dye:

DIP DYE

We can dip dye leather using oil leather dye. Dip dying leather is very fast, clean and consistent.

RICH COLORS

When we are looking at leather dyes, one of the qualities we want is rich color. Oil Leather Dye provides rich and beautiful colors. We capture beautiful reds, greens, and a full selection of browns when using oil leather dye.

COLOR CONSISTENCY

Another feature we are looking for when dying leather is color consistency. The color consistency as it spans across your leather project is excellent when you are using oil leather dye.

PLIABLE LEATHER

We do not want the leather to be stiff after dying it. Oil leather dye allows the leather to feel pliable just like it did before it was dyed.

LEATHER DYE NOT RUBBING OFF

Last but most important is, that we don’t want our dye rubbing off. We must understand that there is no perfect sealant to dye. The best pair of Italian shoes on a rainy day will bleed but this process will get us so close that leather color bleeding is almost negligible.

3. Setting up your leather dye workspace

SUPPLIES NEEDED

Not all of us have the luxury of a big worktable or a big shop to work on our leather projects. Sometimes we are working on the kitchen table, the card table or the coffee table.

PLASTIC GARBAGE BAG

First thing is to put down a plastic bag perhaps like a folded white garbage bag. We won’t be throwing this bag away regularly but using it to roll up the other supplies so we can sit it aside when we are finished and easily unroll it when we want to dye leather again.

CARDBOARD OR WRAPPING PAPER NEEDED

Secondly, the plastic bag may get wet, slippery and pool with dye so we don’t want our leather project getting spotted when we flip it over, therefore we need to have some inexpensive paper laid down on the plastic bag. Wrapping paper or cardboard works nicely.

RUBBER GLOVES

Now we add rubber gloves for the simple reason of preventing our hands from getting dye on them.

LIDDED CONTAINER

Put our oil leather dye into a lidded container that will accommodate our project so that it may be dipped and slid through the dye.
