Things to Know Before You Buy:
This dye is meant to soak into the leather and will slightly darken once a topcoat is added. Always test your color on a scrap piece first if you’re trying to match something specific. We recommend using a protective topcoat like Resolene or Tan-Kote after the dye dries to lock in the color and prevent rub-off. It is alcohol-based, so it dries fast and absorbs deep, but it’s not made for use on chrome-tan or finished leathers.
Also, like most alcohol-based dyes, this stuff is flammable and a little goes a long way, so store it safely and recap it tight.
