I'd like to dye the hood of my great northern quiver a walnut or darker brown color. Any suggestions ?
Tandy Leather sells analine dyes made for leather.
Walnut hulls and alcohol.
Does the Tandy dye penetrate well without bleeding???
Thank you
Fiebings is the brand most widely used. Tandy sells Fiebings and their own brand which is made by Fiebings. I usually buy mine from Springfieldleather.com. The light brown, tan, medium brown all tend to have a very red hue when used on veg tanned leather. Chocolate brown will come the closest to a true brown. Buy a few colors and test them. On the first pass, I cut the dye 50% with denatured alcohol which helps avoid streaks and brush strokes, you can then add additional coats of varying strengths of dye until you get what you like. Bottom line: test, test, test.
Thanks guys...I knew I could count on you ! :thumbsup:
