Angelus Leather Dye Instructions
Prepare the Leather Surface:
Ensure that the leather item is clean and free from any dirt, dust, or previous finishes. Clean the surface using a damp cloth if necessary and allow it to dry completely.
Masking (Optional):
If you want to protect certain areas from dye, you can use masking tape to cover them. This is particularly useful when working on shoes with rubber soles or other non-leather components.
Shake the Dye Bottle:
Shake the Angelus Leather Dye bottle well to ensure that the colour pigments are thoroughly mixed. This step is essential to achieve a consistent and even colour application.
Apply a Small Test Patch:
Before applying the dye to the entire surface, perform a small test on a less visible area to ensure that the colour is to your liking and that the dye adheres well to the leather.
Dye Application:
Use a cotton ball or applicator pad to apply the Angelus Leather Dye evenly to the leather surface. Work in small sections, ensuring thorough coverage. Apply additional coats if a deeper colour is desired, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next.
Work in Even Strokes:
Apply the dye in smooth, even strokes to prevent streaks or uneven colour distribution. Take your time, and if you make a mistake, wipe off the dye quickly with a clean cloth before it dries.
Allow Drying Time:
Let the dyed item dry completely between coats. The drying time may vary depending on environmental conditions, but it typically takes about 15-30 minutes.
Seal (Optional):
Once the desired colour is achieved and the leather is dry, you can optionally apply a leather finisher or sealant to protect the dyed surface and enhance its durability.
Buff and Polish:
After the final coat has dried, use a clean, dry cloth to buff and polish the leather surface gently. This helps to achieve a smooth and lustrous finish.
Clean Up:
Clean your applicator tools and hands immediately after use with soap and water. Ensure the dye bottle is securely closed to prevent drying.
Following these instructions, you can effectively use Angelus Leather Dye to customize and revitalize your leather items.
