Angelus Leather Dye Red

Product Information

However, if you are working with an already finished leather, you will need to deglaze to remove the finish so the dye can soak into the leather itself. A. Yes, in fact this is great for aniline leather as you are limiting the amount of surface coatings being applied which will help to keep the leather looking more natural and softer. In our opinion, both have their place, although leather dye has many benefits and is better suited for general use. While natural veg tan shouldn’t have a coating on it like most other finished leathers, this will just ensure that the piece you are dyeing is clean of oils and dust that may interfere with the dye saturation. Be sure to test the dye on an inconspicuous part of the leather before proceeding so that you know exactly what shade of red will result.

Not only is this good practice, but if the leather is dirty, it can cause a freshly repaired area to stand out.If you're just repairing a small scuff or scratch, you don't need to do any additional preparation other than clean the leather. Colour Matching: If you can send us a piece of your leather we will match the colour exactly to your requirement. As for the product itself, the colour is a virtually perfect match, and I chose to slightly under-fill the cracks, so the repaired panel would retain an imperfect and somewhat naturally aged appearance to match the rest of the seat. The drivers seat base had many splits and tears, and some areas had worn into holes, the seat back top sections were horrible, the drivers seat had three distinct gaping tears between 3 and 4 inches long, the huge split on the passenger seat had what I can best describe as a large ‘W’ shaped rip (see photograph opposite page top r/h col), was well over a foot long and ran just above the piping. The colourant used in the kit can be used on Vinyl, but the colourant layer will not adhere as well to the surface Vinyl as it does on leather.
