Have you ever wondered how you can add a pop color to your leather projects since there are limited colors of leather dye available? In this week’s episode of The Leather Element, Chuck goes over some options including paint, dye markers and antique finish.
Today watched video regarding dyes, colors, permanent felt pens, and ink pens, etc. Years ago I used Sharpie brand (although it shouldn’t matter who the manufacturer is, pretty much) but found that even the Sharpie brand black ink is not light fast, i.e., will fade to nothing in xxxxx time period, due to UV degradation. So, my opinion is that felt pens should not be used for any real good work or commissions. The felt pens look good for awhile but are not permanent compared to other dye products blended specifically for leather working. Bryce
