FAQs
Leather dyes are super strong and full of color. They work great on leather because they soak in and last a long time. Suede dyes are a bit different—they have less color in them and are made to keep suede soft. Suede is that soft, fuzzy leather, and it needs special care. If you put leather dye on suede, it can make the suede hard, not soft and fuzzy like it should be.
Dyes takes the color of what is under them. So if you dye something white with red it will turn pink. It mixes with it. Paint sits on the surface and grabs on. You can cover anything with paint. Our paint is water based while our dyes are alcohol based.
Yes, all Angelus Dyes are mixable! Angelus Leather Dyes can be mixed with other Angelus Leather Dyes, and the same for Angelus Suede Dyes. Mixing dyes to acheive specific colors is harder than mixing paints and does require testing. (Do not mix Suede Dyes and Leather Dyes together.)
Keep in mind that this is considered a professional product. You may need to perform many tests before applying it to your final piece.
SATISFIED
I was trying to create a Renaissance outfit for my local Ren Fair, and I needed some period appropriate footwear. I had a pair of boots that I have had for 40 years, and while I love my boots, they had seen better days. They were a very light tan suede, with some dark stains that I couldn't clean, and some shiny spots that I couldn't fluff up to match the rest of the suede. I purchased the Black Suede Dye, the Easy Cleaner, and the Water & Stain Repellent pump spray, and went to town on my boots. The cleaner helped with the stains and fluffed up the nap so much I almost wanted to leave them as they were. But I took the plunge and applied the dye. And wow, what a difference!! They look brand new! I can't believe it's the same pair of boots! And it was so easy to dye them. They are ankle boots, folded over at the top, and it did take a bottle per boot, which I was prepared for as they were so light in color, I knew it would take a good amount to fully dye them all black. And the water and stain repellent worked perfectly. The first day of the Fair it rained, and the repellent kept the water and mud from soaking into my "new" boots. And now I have cleaner and repellent to keep them looking new! Don't throw those old leather or suede shoes away without giving Angelus Direct a try. You could be saving your favorite footwear and keeping your wallet happy at the same time. Thank you, Angelus Direct, for your great products and giving new life to my favorite boots!
I was able to totally fix my black discolored Ugh boots with this, it really works great.
Perfect!
Good dye for any project
