Angelus, Leather Dye, Multiple Colors, 3oz
Angelus Leather Dye is a professional-grade, alcohol-based dye formulated to penetrate deeply into smooth leather for rich, permanent color. Unlike surface paints, this dye absorbs into the leather fibers, helping preserve the natural look and feel of the material while delivering long-lasting results. When properly prepared and finished, the color resists peeling, cracking, and wash-off under normal use. Long trusted by leathercrafters, shoemakers, and restorers, Angelus Leather Dye is well suited for restoration work, color changes, and detailed leather projects.

- Designed to absorb into smooth leather fibers
- Permanent, rich color when properly applied
- Will not crack or peel when properly finished
- Highly pigmented formula for strong color depth
- Colors can be mixed to create custom shades
- Suitable for leather goods and footwear projects
Application Instructions for Leather
- Prepare the surface:
Clean the leather thoroughly. For best adhesion and color consistency, remove existing finishes, oils, or waxes using a leather preparer/deglazer.
- Apply evenly:
Apply dye using a wool dauber, sponge, brush, or airbrush in light, even coats. Avoid over-saturating the leather.
- Allow proper drying time:
Let the dye dry completely between coats. Multiple light applications produce the most even color.
- Build color gradually:
Continue applying thin coats until the desired depth of color is achieved.
- Finish and protect
After the dye has fully dried, apply an appropriate leather finish to help reduce rub-off and improve durability.
Storage Note: Contains flammable solvents. Store tightly closed and away from heat, sparks, or open flame.
