For leather, use a deglazer or cleaner to remove oils and waxes. Lightly sand wood if needed. — Prepare Surface 2. Using a sponge, wool dauber, or airbrush, apply the Fiebing's Leather Dye evenly. Work in thin, consistent coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying another, if needed, for deeper color. — Apply Dye 3. Once the dye is completely dry, buff off any excess. Apply a leather conditioner or finish (like Fiebing's Resolene or Tan Kote) to protect the color and the material. For wood, use a compatible sealant. — Set and Finish ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Dye Type | Alcohol-Based Penetrating Leather Dye | | Key Ingredients | Alcohols (Ethanol/Isopropanol), proprietary dye blend | | GHS Classification | Flammable, Irritant, Health Hazard | | Prop 65 Warning | Contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. | | Directions | Apply with a sponge, wool dauber, or airbrush to vegetable-tanned or unfinished leather.
