How to Use Dye Products
Proper prep and application are key to vibrant, even color. Here is a straightforward process to get professional results.
-
Prep the surface. For leather, clean and strip factory finishes with a leather preparer and deglazer. For suede, brush with a suede brush or clean with an easy cleaner.
-
Protect surrounding areas. Use painter’s tape or cover nearby sections to avoid accidental dye transfer, especially on mixed-material items.
-
Apply the dye. Load a wool dauber or brush with dye. Apply thin, even coats, working into seams and edges. For suede, keep strokes light to avoid crushing the nap.
-
Build color gradually. Let each coat dry completely before adding another. This helps control shade depth and ensures even coverage.
-
Buff and remove excess. Once the final coat is dry, gently buff with a clean cloth to remove loose pigment.
-
Seal and protect. For leather, apply a finisher or conditioner to maintain softness and durability. For suede, finish with a water- and stain-repellent spray.
-
Let it cure before use. Allow your project to rest for at least 24 hours before handling or wearing.
