Fiebing's Leather Dye - 4 fluid ounce, Purple

i got this to try on some leather. colour is so cool. As with any leather dye dont get it on your skin (skin is leather). you will have purple sploges for ages. but to the dye. two coats on neutral 3.6mm veg tanned leather gave a deep purple. TEST it out on scrap leather first. This has got to be the best i have used so far. well worth it money.

This was really easy to apply, I used a medium sized water colour brush to cover an old pair of faded Dr Martens. I prepped the leather with nail varnish remover. At first some areas had a metallic sheen, but another rub with nail varnish sorted it ok. It dried very quickly. Wear plastic gloves, it stains. I finished with the leather sealant

Dye itself is great and very true to the color you expect (purple). Just be more savvy than I was and be sure the leather you are trying to dye will take the dye. My handbag turned metallic greenish gold rather than purple, boo hoo.

Gorgeous colour and fast delivery

O.K.

I made my granddaughters a perse each and they both looked good but next time I, ll use thinner strokes

The best dye I ever use.

I chose this because the product for suede was very good and purple was gorgeous. Unfortunately, I didn't twig that the photo showed just the bottle for a very good reason. It arrived with no instructions, no dauber etc at all. I Strongly Recommend anyone inexperienced with this stuff to choose a site which will supply the whole kit. The dye result I got had an odd metallic sheen in places, so I gave it another coat. It is now much worse and I have no idea how to rectify it. I seem to remember that the instruction leaflet for the suede version had a FAQs section, perhaps my problem may have been covered in the leather equivalent leaflet. Beware.
