FIEBING LEATHER DYE 946ml MEDIUM 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, alcohol-based leather dye for leatherworkers, saddlers, bag makers and craft professionals who need consistent, rich colour coverage across larger projects or regular workshop use. Fiebing’s Leather Dye in Medium Brown (946 ml) is formulated to penetrate deeply into vegetable-tanned and natural hides, producing an even, long-lasting finish that enhances the grain and character of leather without merely coating the surface.
This dye is ideal for colouring large hides, belts, straps, panel pieces and multiple leather goods where uniform colour and durability matter. The penetrating action helps resist rubbing and fading more effectively than surface paints or coatings, while the medium brown tone delivers a warm, versatile finish suited to a wide range of handcrafted leather projects.
Key Features:
Alcohol-based penetrating dye — absorbs deep into leather fibres for rich, even colour.
Medium brown tone — classic, warm shade that complements natural leather grains.
946 ml (32 fl oz) size — generous volume suited for large hides, production work or busy workshops.
Excellent coverage and consistency — helps ensure uniform results with fewer passes.
Great colourfastness — resists fading and wear during everyday use.
Whether you’re custom-colouring bags, straps, wallet pieces or restoring vintage leatherwork, this Medium Brown Leather Dye delivers professional-quality saturation and consistency. For best results, prepare the leather with a deglazer or cleaner, apply the dye evenly with an applicator pad, brush or sponge, allow it to dry thoroughly, and follow up with a protective leather finish to seal and protect your colour.
