Michael Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I tried using this to turn a pair of white cowboy boots to dark brown, wasn't impressed. After 4 coats it still looked like I had just wiped them over with a dirty rag!!! Resorted back to good old Punch leather dye in the end.

Gray Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Michael,.......If you want to use a surface dye like TRG or Tarrago or the old Esquire or Dylon put a base coat of spirit dye on first especially on white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Update............I phoned Birches for a moan..........Joanna checked them and they do smell like human sh1t...... ....."like a sewer" were her words......Also while I was on I had a gripe about the way they pack orders...........GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY...............Apparently from today orders well be packed properly..........Don't know why we have to complain really.... ...........It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to know if you put 5 ltrs of 6092 in a box then lob in some boxes of dyes and loose tins of polish with no packing, stuff is going to get damaged.... .............I'm done.....................for now.

Perplexus Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY...............Apparently from today orders will be packed properly..........Don't know why we have to complain really.... ...........It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to know if you put 5 ltrs of 6092 in a box then lob in some boxes of dyes and loose tins of polish with no packing, stuff is going to get damaged.... .............I'm done.....................for now. They'll probably still send the wrong stuff, but at least it will be nicely packed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Talking of TRG dye. What's with the new easi dye? Has it replaced the other color dye by TRG? Rick. Not sure Rick. Tarrago are selling Quick colour which is just a bottle of dye and a sponge without the preparer and brush so I would imagine TRG are doing the same..... ...........It's 85 degrees in my shop.

StevenB Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 It's 85 degrees in my shop. I've got betty swollocks... Lucky bugger, we've had low cloud, mist & temperatures hovering around 15-16 degrees this week (in the region of 60 degrees for you old folks not bad for October...) Bring on the sunshine I say - the sooner, and hotter the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
