Hello,
Do you have some advice on moisturizing and bringing back the softness of leather after dyeing? When I dye the leather myself (Either with Giardini or Fiebings), especially with thinner leather like 1.0mm-1.4mm, I find that the leather looses its soft touch and becomes sligthly cardboard'ish. It also affects the backside of the stitching because the awl seems to rip the surface of leather at the corners.
Personally I sometimes use neatsfoot oil, but that never gave me great results and only partial improvement.
Have you got some advice here?
Cheers, Radek
yeah, like Radoslaw, i stopped dying leather, i just buy them dyed from the tannery and that's it. it saves lots of time and hassle.
