FIEBING LEATHER DYE 946ml LIGHT 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 workshop‑ready, alcohol‑based leather dye for leatherworkers, saddlers, bag makers and craft professionals who need rich, even tone and dependable coverage on large hides or multiple pieces. Fiebing’s Leather Dye in Light Brown (946 ml) penetrates deep into vegetable‑tanned and natural leathers, delivering uniform, long‑lasting colour that integrates with the material rather than just sitting on the surface.
This large‑format dye is ideal for substantial projects such as belts, straps, bag panels, saddlery, upholstery or production work where consistent saturation and depth of colour matter. Because it soaks into the fibres rather than forming a surface coat, the dyed leather resists fading and rubbing better than surface paints or pigmented finishes — giving you professional‑quality results that endure through everyday use.
Key Features:
Alcohol‑based penetrating dye — soaks deep into leather fibres for rich, even colour across large surfaces.
Light Brown tone — warm, natural shade that enhances the character and grain of leather.
946 ml (32 fl oz) — generous volume suited to larger hides, batch dyeing or busy workshop use.
Excellent coverage and consistency — helps deliver uniform results with fewer applications.
Professional performance — resists fading and wear in everyday use when properly finished.
Whether you’re custom‑colouring big hides, refreshing large panels of leather or preparing multiple handcrafted pieces, this Light Brown Leather Dye gives you professional‑quality saturation and dependable results. For best results, prep the leather with a suitable deglazing solution, apply the dye evenly using an applicator pad or sponge, let it dry thoroughly and finish with a protective leather topcoat to lock in the colour and enhance longevity.
