This dude’s energy is delightful.
He's like the fun, hobbiest uncle everyone deserves
The Suede dye can make any shoe or any suede look like a brand new color item. I bought some all white Suede Shoes at a discount and did one light coat of the black dye on parts of the suede. It looks like a brand new shoe from the factory, no marks or streaking. You just make sure there is an even amount on the applicator and just move it at an even touch accross the suede. The suede just soaks it up.
The 12 dye pack is such a good deal too! I too have fallen in love with Angelus dyes. Their leathwr acrylic paints are too notch too! Thanks Chuck.
Your enthusiasm is amazing 😊
It was VERY good information!
You did a fantastic job.
You always do!
Thank you, for sharing!
Love your style, lively and right on point with all the possibilities of the Angelus. Got a purse I’m going try
Great video and love this guys energy👏🏻
Thanks for the info! Very thorough and I love your energy!😊
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this! My wife will really appreciate having Rose colored dye!
Fascinating and very useful information - thanks!
Idea for the next angelus dye video, different dilute percentages and the result of the color tones.
I have a tip. Sometimes I use a spent bullet case to punch holes. It makes it easier if you can sharpen the opening with a shamfer tool. Don't sharpen too thin.
great info chuck!! thanks
I've used these a lot. It takes some practice to get really consistent results. So easy to get that metallic coat, then more alcohol to clean it off. You'll end up with a piece of rawhide if you're not careful. I still oil everything after this dye, because it will dry the leather, dramatically in some cases.
You can really play with the colors and cut them a lot to get a really nice shade. Turquoise and the blue are two of my favorites.
We still prefer oil dyes.
the blue dye is great along with the blue edge paint
Thank-you for sharing Sir.
I love this channel!
Thank you!
That rose color turned out beautiful.
Yes, one of our favorite colors!
Sick video, im subscribed!
I love the colors they have, but they can be a little tricky sometimes where one coat looks great but goes way darker with a second coat or dipping. I'm still new to leather, but this stuff even the great Chuck needs to experiment lol
This guy sounds like American Steve Irwin and I can’t unthinking that
Great video. I need to see what Bismark and British Tan looks like....
I would love to see a video on the difference between leather dies and leather recoloring balms, I've looked everywhere and cant find anything comparing the two.
I agree on the blue and turquoise!
Could you test the finish with water resistance? Is it close to resolene?
Thanks Chuck! I was wondering, could you please do an armor video? Maybe a series, separated by mainstream projects every other video, if the trouble is not having enough mainstream projects. Regardless, thanks for the video!
Even though I don't make armor, I would 100% watch just to learn new skills. Chuck can make any lesson enjoyable. I think armor would be very interesting!
can we compare the ruboff to feibings pro?
Thanks for trying these and showing your results. How would you compare the feel of the leather of each of these to those that have been dyed with the Feibings Pro oil dye. I've been using the Pro dye and have used the Feibings regular dye and the regular does feel dryer than the Pro.
Thanks for another great demo, Chuck. How do yo keep the dies from running/rubbing off on clothing?
I believe that's what the acrylic finish is for.
i'd love to be able to use Feibing's Pro dye, but it can't be sent to CA. :( Fortunately, Angelus is made here in CA and is what I use. It is fantastic! Their acrylic paints are good too.
Hey Chuck I was wondering how to avoid haveing creaky and/or squeaky leather, and what are some things I can do to fix this problem once it has occurred?
Chuck, I’ve been neatsfoot oiling the leather 6-8 hours prior to applying dye could this be helpful in a more consistent no streaked finish?
How do you clean dye off of the small paint brushes? Just soap or will I need like some paint thinner?
Hi Chuck. Thanks for all the videos. I was wondering if you had any tips for waterproofing veg tan leathers.
Beeswax has given some of the best water resistant results for me. "Waterproof" I don't know - leather is porous so eventually if submerged long enough it will absorb some of the water.
I was thinking of painting a caramel brown nubuck purse because it has pen marks on it. Any suggestions as to what paint or die I should use?
Does this dye work on previously dyed leather? I have a pair of old doc martens I want turn into a black cherry red color any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!
What is the name of the last dye you used to test dye the deglaze and non deglaze? Is it dark red?
Thanks Chuck! Beautiful colors. Is this dye an oil based dye?
Believe it's considered alcohol based
Is it impossible to dye black shoe to a different color?
Do you stamp first then use your Angelus paints?
What type of leather are the sample pieces?
Not related, I just want to know if you received your angelus leather dye that way - no seal in the bottles. I received mine without seal, just wondering if I received a decanted one.
Chuck are you still doing weaver leathers in 2022?
Hey chuck! I'm trying to figure the background of my tooled leathers with Angelus ox blood, and when i tan cote it to resist before antiquing, it's picking up and smearing the angelus dye! I let the dye sit over night and wiped it off in the evening next day to get excess off before tan cote! Could you help me figure out how to avoid getting this dye over my whole project?
Can this be used to dye a canvas bag? Diluted and submerged?
Can you do a video on how you dyed that rifle sling please. The black and tan, Thanks
Hi Bob,
Chuck goes over this in this video: czcams.com/video/yVe1-5PUVNU/video.html
We also have a video by Joe Meling actually showing the process: fb.watch/3PxOFPVDh2/
Hay, can you help me? I want to give leather a laké finish. How can I do this?
cool
Would like to get some kind of catalog
Do we have a video on using angelus paints with antique & topcoats?
Check out this one from a Facebook live we did with Joe Meling: fb.watch/v/28nYB8uC9/
What color was the last two
2:31 what angelus dye color is it?
What do you thin this product out with? Rubbing alcohol?
DO THIS WITH SUEDE
Hi great video!!!
What would you recommend for customizing a baseball glove? I would be using a neutral colored glove. I need the product used to show vibrant colors and also allow for occasional conditioning to be applied.
Don’t know if I should use leather paint or leather dye.
Thanks
Hi there, leather paint would give you brighter color options but you do run the risk of rub off a little bit quicker. Would you be able to stamp the letters in and then paint the the stamped areas? That would allow the paint to be in the recessed areas and lessen the risk of rub off.
@@WeaverLeatherSupply Thank you for the quick response. I’m actually looking to customize the glove with different colors. Thanks
I have a brown leather sofa. I want to do a very light grey or white. Will these work?
Unfortunately no, leather dye will only go darker - not lighter.
This did answer some questions I have had for a while about coloring leather
I am a furniture maker & I do have some more questions about this. Lets say, I want to make an oversized leather covered sofa. How far does that dye go?
Also, I treat all leather goods with pure beeswax. This makes leather last a lot longer & also waterproofs it. I see this as an added feature that lets my customers know I want to make the best possible product. Will that create any issues with these dyes?
Is the acrylic product similar to epoxy used in things like river tables? I want very much to keep the leather very soft & pliable over the years.
Hi there,
For a couch you would probably want a larger size dye - more like 32 oz.
You shouldn't have a problem adding a beeswax top coat to this dye.
The acrylic top coat is not like epoxy, it's a top coat to seal in the dye and keep it from rubbing off onto clothing, etc. It will still be flexible when it dries.
Will this dye always rub off on clothes? Is it necessary to apply the top coat cause i used a oil preserve after and it still comes off with the black? Only been dried 1 day so idk.
I have what is supposed to be a burgundy wallet but really looks more brownish and I want it to stand out like the green in this video. Is there a way to die a darker color to a lighter color... Or brown to green? I hope you were able to answer this for me. Thank you. I love your video.
Unfortunately there is not a good way to dye leather a lighter color. Leather dye is transparent so it doesn't cover up, it just enhances or adds to so if you add green to brown it will likely just get darker with a bit of a green hue. You can try using deglazer first and that will lighten it somewhat but we still can't guarantee that it will have the outcome you are looking for.
@@WeaverLeatherSupply I really do appreciate an honest answer. Thank you so very much. I will make do because I love the Allet. It is the second one I purchased and it is the best wallet I have ever had. I will give away my black one and make do with the dark burgundy one. Again thank you.
Okay so big question…. The clear dye which they sell if you mix that with white angelus paint will it create the same effect?
Hi Lucy,
I'm not sure what you are referring to. I have not seen clear dye - but there are top coats that are clear. Tops coats will put a satin or shiny finish on your leather and seal in the dye. If you were to mix white paint and a top coat you would likely get a white-washed look but we have not tried this so we can't recommend it. Not sure the two would mix together very well either but you can always experiment and see what you come up with.
@@WeaverLeatherSupply hey! Noo it’s not a top coat, it’s a clear “leather dye” says on angelus and on angelus is says to be mixed with colour so I’m super confused! If you could check it out and let me know I’d be so greatful thank you x
What kind of acrylic finisher did you use? Matte? Satin?
The one used in the video was the Satin
Will that Angelus finisher prevent rub-off onto clothes and skin?
Hi Sam,
Yes, it is designed to seal in the color.
Do you need the wax ?
Can you use the finisher on suede?
Hello! We do not recommend regular finisher to be used on suede. Here are a few products that we would recommend using to protect and water proof suede... www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/50-1960/snow-proof-water-stain/pr_8091 and www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/50-1965/snow-proof-silicone-water-/pr_8092 Thank you!
Yellow? Do you have yellow dye
what about using an airbrush to apply the dye?
An airbrush would work great for applying dye.
I tried 2 colors from Angelus, light brown and a darker one applied with dauber and both were bad for streaking, worst dyes I've ever used for streaking. Don't like them.
Whats the difference from black & jet black Angelus dye?
Hi there! We are only seeing Jet Black as an option for the Angelus Dye.
Could you please show us how to make leather armor
Check out Prince Armory. Just finished a tutorial on a full set of armor, and is starting another one.
@@thepatch228 I have but I would like to know more of the pattern making and a different style of armor
@@ashtonmccracken8310 consider checking out his Patreon. Wealth of information there and he gives out the most recent patterns also gives access to discord and a lot of the pattern making can be pretty easily extrapolated.
How hard would it be to dye that burgundy to that red, anyone ?? Common sense tells me burgundy would accept the red dye but I don’t know that ???
Hi there,
It would accept the dye, however, the red won't cover the burgundy. If anything, it would maybe get a red hue but just became a darker burgundy color.
@@WeaverLeatherSupply so the burgundy/darker red on my shoe is suede does suede accept angulus paint well or anything special I should to to the suede before I paintbjt
Just put some of this stuff in the cow's drinking water and you won't have to do this.
Curious if I can condition after the topcoat with something that will soften the effects of the alcohol dye? Suggestions?
Hi Bunny,
The top coat is going to put a seal on the leather so I don't know that the conditioner will soak in very well. You can lightly oil the piece after dyeing and let it dry completely before applying a top coat. Or just work the leather with your hands a bit after the dye has dried and this ill help soften it up a bit.
