    I'm no professional in working with leather but I recently dyed a pair of boots and since I'm an automotive painter by trade I diluted the dye with acetone and sprayed it through my mini hvlp spray gun with a 1.0 fluid tip. It worked great! I got really even coats and was able to control the color very easily by applying multiple light coats. Might be something you'd wanna try in the future.

  • @Daddy53751

    I just discovered the airbrush for leather,
    I’ll never go back. The airbrush just gives you complete control over the dye, that the daubers can’t, and you use so much less.
    (And dye ain’t cheap)
    I’m using a $15 eBay airbrush, and it works like a charm.👍🏻

  • @stephenmartin6995

    You are correct about multiple coats when daubing it can make your project look antique whether you wanted it or not.

    Thank you so much, this video was exactly what I was wanting to learn. I just recently picked up the same exact colour dye, and I tried the dauber and noticed just that, I wasn't getting the honey colour. I'm still fairly new to the leather, and I just picked up the airbrush from Harbor Freight, and I've been eager to get to using it but was hesitant. But again this video put all my concerns at ease, thank you again. Keep doing what you do!

    Pashee air brushes are great to use and the learning curve is short. I use mine for touch up on rust repairs on metal parts and for anything I would use a spray can of paint on. An air brush gives you better control of the amount of paint or dye you spray.

    I enjoyed your video. Isopropyl alcohol is available in 2 percentages. 91% and 70%. The 70% has not been distilled as far and contains less pure alcohol. The 91% will flash (dry to the touch)slightly faster and cost more. You should not breathe the overspray. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share.

    • @makersleathersupply1220

    What would you recommend when painting with Angelus paints over the brown and red feibings dyes? Every time I paint lets say white or yellow over airbrushed dyes, the dye seems to bleed through the paint and make it look yellow (when using over brown dye) or pink (when using over red dye). I've used super sheen, spray leather sheen and resolene as a sealer between the dye and paint and I still have the bleeding problem.

      Alan, if you dye the leather red first using the fiebings pro dye only and then go over it with fiebings black antique you can get a good black red contrast. You might also, if the latter isn't black enough, try the red dye first, then mix some red and black dye and thin it with rubbing alcohol real thin and dye again, then the antique. Experiment.
