FIEBING LEATHER DYE 946ml DARK BROWN UN1987
Fiebing’s Leather Dye is designed to soak into the leather rather than sit on the surface, giving a rich, lasting colour that highlights the natural grain and character of the material. When applied properly, it produces a professional, even finish that enhances the beauty of your leather project.
Re-dyeing smooth leather usually involves three key steps: removing the existing finish, applying the dye, and sealing everything with a protective topcoat. Because every leather type absorbs dye differently, we always recommend testing on a scrap piece or hidden area before working on your final item.
For the dye to properly penetrate, the leather needs to be as close to its natural state as possible. Any remaining finish, paint, or old dye can block absorption and may cause colour rub-off later.
Use Fiebing’s Deglazer to carefully strip away the existing finish and create a clean surface ready for dye.
2. Apply the Dye
Once the leather is fully clean and dry, you can begin dyeing. Apply Fiebing’s Leather Dye using a wool dauber, sponge, or soft cloth. Work in small circular motions to avoid streaks and achieve an even colour.
If you prefer stronger, longer-lasting colour with reduced fading, consider using Fiebing’s Pro Dye, which offers enhanced vibrancy and UV resistance.
Once the dye has fully dried, gently buff the leather with a clean cloth to remove any excess pigment.
After buffing, apply a topcoat such as Fiebing’s Resolene to seal the dye and add a protective, water-resistant finish.
Application Tips:
- Stir, don’t shake: Mix Resolene by stirring to prevent air bubbles forming.
- Use a damp sponge: A fine-cell sponge slightly moistened with water helps create a smooth, streak-free finish and reduces the chance of “fish eyes” (patchy bubbles).
The product may look slightly blue during application, but it dries to a clear, glossy coat.
- Custom colours: Fiebing’s dyes can be mixed to create unique shades. Keep notes on your ratios if you want to recreate the colour later.
- Always test first: Try your chosen colour on scrap leather or an inconspicuous spot.
- Lighten colours: Use Fiebing’s Dye Reducer to dilute the dye for softer tones.
- Upholstery caution: For padded items with foam filling, avoid over-saturating the leather, as excess dye may soak through the padding and cause long-term colour bleed.
Description
A classic, professional leather dye for leatherworkers, saddlers, bag makers and craft professionals who need rich, deep colour coverage for large projects or frequent workshop use. Fiebing’s Leather Dye in Dark Brown (946 ml) features an alcohol‑based penetrating formula that soaks deep into natural hides and vegetable‑tanned leathers — providing even, long‑lasting colour that becomes part of the leather rather than sitting on the surface.
This dye is ideal when you’re working on larger hides, multiple belts, bags, harnesses or production‑level pieces where consistency and durability matter. Because it penetrates beneath the grain, the finish resists rubbing and fading better than simple surface coatings, and the deep brown tone adds a rich, classic look that complements a wide range of leather aesthetics.
Key Features:
Alcohol‑based penetrating dye — formulated to absorb into leather fibres for rich, even colour penetration.
Dark Brown tone — warm, classic shade that enhances the natural character of leather.
946 ml (32 fl oz) size — generous volume suited to large projects or regular workshop use.
Excellent coverage and consistency — helps deliver uniform colour with fewer passes.
Superior colourfastness — resists fading and wears well over time in everyday use.
Whether you’re custom‑colouring big hides, refreshing a collection of pieces, or working on production‑scale leather goods, this Dark Brown Leather Dye delivers professional‑quality, uniform results with depth and durability. For best results, prep your leather with a deglazer or cleaner, apply the dye evenly with an applicator pad or sponge, allow it to dry thoroughly, and seal with a leather finish for protection and enhanced sheen.
