dyes and polishes

 

Dyeing is the process of imparting colour (stain or tint) to the leather. These are used to give the finished article that professional look. water based is for general dyeing of large areas applied with either a wool pad or air brush. Below are a few of the vast range we deal in.

SPIRIT DYE
Are strong, give a much more even finish, but make the skin stiffer and not so easy to use for covering. They also lose that wonderful leather smell

ANTIQUE POLISH
Made from the best quality carnauba wax and organic colours

LEATHER DYE
Craftan leather dye has been specifically formulated for the leather worker

COVERCOAT
a range of high quality organic colours. this is a coating rather than a deep penetration dye

HIGHLIGHT
A clear finish mixture of waxes and shellac which makes carving and embossing stand out

CARNAUBA CREAM
Carnauba wax is the hardest and most resistant of natural waxes. It is yellowish and has a pleasant odour of palms. It is used because of the protection it offers and for its exceptionally brilliant long-lasting shine.
