I love these videos. This young lady is such a great presenter and teacher.
Is leather sheen the only finisher that prevents dye transfer? What is the best way to avoid transfer from the edges or flesh side?
Thanks for this lovely video 😊
Thank you for sharing this useful guide.
Can you use leaether balm with resolene over it for waterproofing? I’m looking for a soft pliable conditioner that’s waterproof.
So for full grain leather resolene is better?
I bought a red leather bag a while ago and it looks old and needs a bit change, i was thinking of dyeing it dark brown, can i do it considering it’s already has color
Dyes usually work best on undyed, unfinished leather. You could try using a product like a deglazer to remove the old finish, but I would be worried about ruining the bag.
Hi! First,i have to congratulate you!❤ Secondly,i have a question. If i want to dissolve the "leather dye" , I'll do it with water, with alcohol or with something else? Thank you at advance! 😄
Hi, Thanks for the comment! That's a great question. It can depend on the kind of leather dye and what you're trying to dissolve it from. Please email us at info@salrite.com. We are more than happy to help you out!
I'm talking about fiebing's leather dye (alcohol based) I just want to make the color lighter, before dye the veg tan leather. Thank you! 😊

I have a smooth deerskin upholstery on a sofa that has been water stained. What color would you recommend that would hide the water stains? TIA
What color is it now? A chocolate brown or black should be dark enough to cover most stains.
I have a question, please . Is this good if i want to make my seadoo seat . If yes, what is the best option alcohol or water base ? Or is this product not for me ?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out with your question. While leather might seem like a luxurious choice for a seadoo seat, it's not the best option for marine environments. Leather can absorb water and deteriorate quickly when exposed to the elements, leading to mold, mildew, and a breakdown of the material. Instead, we highly recommend a marine-grade vinyl like our EverSoft for your seadoo seat project.
EverSoft is specifically designed for marine upholstery. It's completely waterproof, which means it's resistant to mold and mildew, ensuring your seadoo seat stays in top condition no matter the weather. Plus, it's durable and easy to clean, making it a practical choice for any marine craft. You can find EverSoft and other materials on our website: www.sailrite.com/Fabrics/Marine-Fabric/Marine-Upholstery-Vinyl-Fabric/Brand/EverSoft
Let us know if you have any questions. We'd be happy to help!
Hello im trying to learn if i can dye the flesh side of a belt, should i burnish it first, sand, or just dye it fuzzy?
You can dye the flesh side, and make sure to do it before burnishing. If you burnish first, you would be creating a barrier for the dye to get through, which wouldn't allow the dye to properly soak in to the leather.
@@SailriteWorkbench thanks
Good evening, I have a question, is it possible to apply oils, balms, creams over these finishes (resolene, bah kote, ecc) to nourish the leather or do they form a waterproof layer that prevents absorption? Thanks for the reply and thanks for the interesting video!
Resolene is a waterproof finish, so oils and balms would not penetrate. I would recommend conditioning your leather with oil before applying the finish. Or, you can use a non-waterproof finish like leather balm if you plan to condition your piece regularly. I hope that helps, thanks for watching!
sponge brush?
that will work! it will be similar to the foam piece we used, but a sponge brush should have a handle that will make it easy to hold.
I dyed using Low Voc dark brown on back/front/sides. After allowing to dry overnight, it was still a little runny. So I wiped it down good and then coated the whole piece with Resolene. Something didn’t seem right immediately following the application, really tacky. I allowed it to dry for 20 minutes and it is dry but tacky to the touch. What did I do wrong or failed to do properly?
What type of dye did you use? Im not sure why it wouldnt dry overnight. Were you dying undyed leather? Maybe the piece you were dying already had a finish on it which prevented the new dye from soaking in.
@@SailriteWorkbench I believe it was some Loc Voc someone gave me. When I made a second attempt on a fresh test piece of leather, it wasn’t sticky/tacky. It was rather stuff because I didn’t precondition it.
