Our Australian made, Premium Leather Dye is alcohol based and formulated from Premium Leather Dye Concentrate and not dye powders. Has great adhesion with assorted colours. Formulated for Aniline Leathers and Vegetable Tanned leathers that have no sealer so they will take on moisture. This means the Leather Dye will will be soaked up so you want to avoid uneven dyeing by wetting your dauber or brush and moisten the leather before dyeing. Apply our Premium Leather Topcoat Sealer to increase wear properties after dye is dry.

Description

No, our Leather Dye isn’t at Bunnings! To apply, work quickly and evenly. You’ll want to complete the dying before it dries to achieve an even, consistent colour. Apply our Premium Leather Topcoat Sealer to increase wear properties after dye is dry.

How To Reapply Actual Leather Dye To An Aniline Leather Couch

You reapply the dye remembering that actual leather dye takes on the colour its being applied over i.e: the darker spots will still be darker after the dye is applied. You can apply one or two coats around these areas to build the colour before applying coats over the darker areas to even this out a little.

Basically you need to wash the leather down well with Leather Prep, apply the Dye then Top Coat Sealer for added wear properties.

1lt Leather Prep

I would like to know how much coverage each different size kits covers?

A. Simply click or tap on the "In The Box" tab on the products page. Thats the Leather Repair Kits page.

There are dark patches on my couch where the head would rest?

A. This is common with this type of leather. It is meant to develop the worn look over time. So what ever you spill or mark it with will add character to the leather surface. This includes body and hair oils. The idea of the care kit is to clean the leather surface before replenishing the oils and waxes back into the leather hide to prevent it from drying out.

Can I use your Leather Filler before applying the dye to fill some cracks?

No. You can't use leather filler or our Leather Repair Resin and leather dye together. The Leather Dye is alcohol based so it will soften the filler or resin. If you have an aniline leather, then no filler just dye. If you have a finished / pigmented leather then you can use the resin or filler and leather colour, which is leather paint.

I have an Aniline Leather couch with cracking on the arms. Can I use the Leather Filler and Premium Leather Dye to repair?

You can’t repair Aniline Leather like you can a Finished / Pigmented Leather. Once you sand and apply Leather Filler to an Aniline Leather it then becomes a Finished / Pigmented leather and needs Leather Paint to cover the filler. Your not going to replicate that finish with Leather Paint.

You can rub Leather Dye into your Aniline Leather (once prepped with Leather Prep) but you can't fill and sand the cracking. Dye takes on the colour is being applied to. So where there is colour now or a darker spot this will keep getting dark so the finish will be uneven. Thats how Aniline is.

Can I use your leather dye on other surfaces like suede, canvas or timber?

We say our Leather Dye is for leather but its up to you what you want to use it on.

Can I use the leather cleaning kit on blue leather?

Yes. You can use the Comprehensive Leather Care kit on all coloured leathers and not just white. This kit is designed for pigmented and finished leathers.

I have badly worn / cracked seating cushion. Can I use your products to repair and recolour this damage?

Yes and No. Not all leather is repairable as such. Generally the seating areas along with the arm and headrest areas are damaged from body oils, perspiration etc. The leather has absorbed these contaminates over the years so getting a permeant repair is near impossible. Adhesion may / will be an issue or those areas will crack again with little use.

You may also want to look at using our Leather Repair Resin if you don't want to do leather panel replacements.

If you do go ahead and repair badly damaged areas and the repairs fail, please don't blame our products when this happens.

I want to recolour my 5 seater modular. Would 500ml leather colour be enough?

No. You would need 3 litres or the 3lt kit for a 5 seater modular, no chaise. You'll also find an "Coverage Guide Ideal For..." under each kit listed in the "In The Box" tab. If you are ordering a 3lt kit and your modular has a chaise or is extra large you will need to purchase the additional 1lt Leather Colour
