I've been putting off dealing with leather since I started. I've made a dozen or so kydex sheaths, but the hunters I'm working on now wouldn't be right in plastic. So, I broke the ice yesterday, but I've got a question about the leather dye. I'm using Fiebing's professional oil dye.
How many coats do I use? Do I let it completely dry between? Or just let it soak in for a few minutes and hit it again? I've soaked this sheath down 3 times and the color is still splotchy and thin in some places, yet completely dark in others. Getting frustrated!
