How do I prepare leather with Rit Dye?Updated a month ago

How do I dye leather using the dip-dye method?

1. Prep the Leather – Thoroughly clean the surface using a leather prep solution.
2. Heat the Water – Use the hottest tap water available. If needed, heat water on the stovetop to around 140°F and mix it in.
3. Dyeing Process – This method will give the leather a soft, vintage look. For a deeper, more vibrant color, we recommend using Angelus Leather Dye instead.
4. Condition After Dyeing – The salt in the water/dye mix can dry out leather, so be sure to apply a leather conditioner afterward.

This is a dip-dye method only. For best results and further guidance, we recommend reaching out to RIT Dye directly.
