I am very impressed with your results but had some questions.<br /><br />Did you do any prep to the chair?<br />clean it somehow and if so what did you use?<br />was the leather dampened with water while you stained?<br />did you put any finish on it the next day like a sealer or conditioner.<br /><br />I would appreciate any feed back. I can stain wood so I figured I could save the $1500 I was told would be the fee to do my couch with some research and info.<br /><br />Thanks WendyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890903284752343484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273832735614693570.post-53904652282852605712011-12-07T08:44:43.146-08:002011-12-07T08:44:43.146-08:00Oops, sorry for the double post, can you tell I re...Oops, sorry for the double post, can you tell I really want to dye my chair? ;) I appreciate you updating and letting me in on the colour.

It is dry to the touch after about 15 minutes. Our leather was pretty worn and it worked really well. I'm not 100% sure about the scratches, I used some leather glue to seal cracks and it worked great. I'm sure that dying the leather will hide the scratches for sure! We got our leather dye at a store called Roberts arts and crafts. Any craft store I'm sure would carry it. There were a lot of color choices. <br /><br />Hi Fi, nope! No dye has worn of! The stuffs pretty amazing!

I didn't know leather dye was available to consumers. A couple questions:<br /><br />1. How long do you have to wait before sitting on the piece after dying?<br /><br />2. Will it work for leather that has been worn? <br /><br />3. Where can I find this product?<br /><br />My dog has scratched up one cushion of our sofa and I'd love to try this. I'm just wondering if I could match the color.Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/02441070110507014088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273832735614693570.post-30382267276421563182010-04-24T08:04:22.785-07:002010-04-24T08:04:22.785-07:00Thanks for the compliments!
