How to Use Leather Dye

Using leather dye is a simple process that can be done at home with just a few basic tools and materials. Here's how to do it:

1. Clean the leather item: Before you begin, you'll need to clean the leather item you want to dye. Use a leather cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar to do this. Be sure to remove any dirt or debris from the leather. We suggest our cleaner as we know that won't damage your leather, even expensive soft leather.
2. Use the rough side of the provided sponge: Inside the kit is a rough side to the sponge, rub that around the item to remove any shiny layers and sealers that will prevent the dye penetrating.
3. Apply the dye: Once you've opened the bottle, you can begin to apply it to the leather item. You can use a sponge or a brush to do this. Be sure to apply the dye evenly and cover the entire surface of the leather.
4. Buff and polish: Once dry, you can buff and polish the leather item to give it a shiny finish. You can use a soft cloth or a brush to do this.

Tips for Using Leather Dye

Here are a few tips to help you get the best results when using leather dye:

• Test the dye on a small, inconspicuous area of the item before applying it to the whole thing. This will help you see how the color looks and how well it takes to the leather.
• Be sure to apply the dye evenly to avoid anypatchiness or streaks.
• Use a light hand when applying the dye. You can always add more layers later if you want a darker color, but it's harder to remove excess dye once it's applied.
• Be patient and allow each layer of dye to dry completely before applying the next one.
• Using our leather dye kits, there are instructions on the side of the box too to remind you.
• If you're not sure which color to choose, you can always mix different dyes to create a custom color.
