ANGELUS Leather Dye

When you need a professional-grade leather dye that won't crack or peel, choose Angelus Brand alcohol dyes. 

Matching a specific brown on your leatherwork can be a challenge. For a perfect darker shade, go with Angelus Dye, ideal for custom boots and sneaker restoration projects. 

Dyeing Smooth Leather with Angelus Leather Dye

1. Prep by wiping down leather with leather preparer using an applicator, cotton ball, or a rag.
2. Wait for the leather to dry for a few minutes. Wipe down with a micro fibre towel to remove all lint.
3. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.
4.  Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paintbrush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 
5.  Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 
6.  Leave to dry. You may see a tint, bronzing, or any different finish. Do not panic! This is just residual dye on the surface.
7.  (Optional) Wipe with a micro fibre towel to remove excess dye pigment. If there is still a sheen or tint use some alcohol on said micro fibre and wipe it down quickly. Do not let the alcohol sit on the item or else you risk lifting some of the dye and discolouring. Once done the tint should disappear and it will just be the colour. 
8.  If you wish to dye the item more of the colour complete steps 5-7 again. 
9. If you are looking to protect and nourish the leather we suggest using Angelus Leather Balm or Neutral Angelus Shoe Polish. If you do not want the shine of the shoe polish just lightly buff versus a full buff to shine. If you dyed the article black or brown we would suggest even buffing it with coloured shoe polish or Lustre Cream.
