Quick Guide for using Angelus DyeUpdated 3 days ago
How to use Angelus Dyes properly and some minor issues and how to solve them.
Here’s a quick guide to using Angelus Dyes on different types of leather.
| Leather Type | Steps & Tips |
|---|---|
| Smooth Leather | Prep with Leather Preparer & Deglazer → Dry → Apply dye with wool dauber/brush → Let dry → Wipe excess dye → Repeat if needed → Protect with Leather Balm or Shoe Polish. |
| Suede Leather | Clean fully with Easy Cleaner → Brush to loosen suede if stiff → Apply dye with wool dauber/brush → Let dry for a few hours → Brush suede to restore feel → Optional: finish with Water Repellent or Mink Oil. |
| Patent Leather | Prep with Leather Preparer & Deglazer → Dry → Apply dye with wool dauber/brush → Let dry → Wipe excess dye → Repeat if needed → Optional buff with Neutral Shoe Polish for extra shine. |
Important Notes:
Dye soaks into material and shows through the base color (e.g., red on white turns pink).
Dyes are best for restoring or deepening existing shades, not full color changes.
Always wear gloves and work in a space where stains won’t be an issue.
Why It Works:
Angelus Dyes penetrate into leather and suede, restoring rich color and offering long-lasting results when properly prepped and finished.
