Aniline Dye Stain (No.29)

Leather dye for staining unfinished leathers.

  • Formulated for use on aniline, semi-aniline, waxed and oil pull-up leathers
  • Penetrating, transparent liquid that stains leather with colour
  • Use a matching colour or one that is slightly darker than the original
  • Use to restore colour to UV faded areas
  • Colours are vibrant and luminous and layering increases depth of colour 
  • Allows the natural features of leather to remain visible
  • Marks, stains, scuffs and scratches may be somewhat blended but not concealed 
  • Apply by sponge or spray gun
  • Air dries in approx. 1hr
  • Variable absorption can render an appealing mottled effect
  • Mixable; create your own colour
  • All dyes can fade when exposed to ongoing UV light
  • Not suitable for use over repairs using leather filler
  • Not self-sealing (dye transfer may occur) and leaves no coatings
  • Generally, not suitable for use over pigmented (painted/coated) leathers 
  • Not suitable for use on car leather

When you want to keep it natural

The beauty of aniline leather is the warm touch, authentic leather-look and appealing, luminous colours. But when it fades, it can look drab, grey and uncared for. Aniline Dye Stain (No.29) can help to refresh the bleached colour without sacrificing the natural look. 

Use alone or with clear or sheer coatings

  • Use alone 
  • Use under Topcoat (No.7) which seals the stain to prevent dye transfer onto clothing/skin and provides a protective finish
  • Use under Colour Restoration Cream (No.32)  which lightly covers stains and lends a protective finish

    Detailed Directions
    1) Pour some dye on to a sponge and squeeze to incorporate

    2) In an inconspicusous place, do a test spot. If the colour matches your needs, continue to Step 3.

    If too dark or intense, pour a portion of the Dye Stain into a clean vessel (such as a plastic cup) and dilute with water to create a paler colour. Test again. Continue testing until you achieve the colour intensity you desire. Adjust the remaining Dye Stain as needed.

    If the colour is close, but not exactly right for your job, other colours can be used to adjust it. Sold separately.

    If the colour is to pale, apply additional coats to the test spot until the depth of colour you need is acheived.

    3) Moving at an even speed and applying moderately firm, even pressure, wipe over one area at a time. Experiment with different strokes; eg circular or long, straight strokes. Continue untill all areas are done.

    4) Repeat until all areas have been treated.

    Note: Due to the penetrating behaviour of Aniline Dye Stain, the fibrous nature of leather, and the variable condition of previous coatings, staining may not produce completely even results. Using several applications can help to even out the colour.

    Ideal for: Staining leather with transparent colour.

    Use with: Can be used with Spot & Prep (No.4), Topcoat (No.7), Colour Restoration Cream (No.32).

    Application schedule: Every piece of leather is different as is the amount and type of usage. Leather dye stain can easily be touched-up if or as needed.

    Application method: Apply by hand using a sponge or brush or use a spray gun and compressor

    Best accessories: A soft bristle scrubbing brush, applicator sponges, gloves, sandpaper, drop-sheets, and plenty of disposable and/or white microfibre cloths.

    Instructions: On the label, Directions for Use, under the How To tab.

    Drying time: Pentrates immediately and usually takes 30 mins to 1 hour to dry. A hairdryer can be used to speed drying.

    Time before use: Allow 1 hour then test for colour transfer using a white cloth. If colour is transferred, allow more drying time. If dyes continues to transfer, seal with Topcoat (No.7)

    Available in a kit: Yes, this product is available in a value kit with the other products used to refinish leather.

    Transparent stain

    Unlike leather pigments (paints/coatings) that coat the surface with a coloured finish, aniline dye stains penetrate and stain with transparent colour.

    Although painted leathers are the most commonly used type, aniline dyed leathers remain very popular. The look is classic, natural, earthy and authentic whilst the feel is warm and inviting.

    Most modern anilines are acturally semi-anilines. They are dyed and lightly coated with leather paint and topcoat for protection.

    When to use dye stains

    If you have aniline, semi-aniline, waxed, or oil pull-up leather and it has UV fading, Aniline Dye Stain can be used to balance the fading and boost the overall colour intensity.

    If it is marked and stained and you'd like to blend those stains so that they are less eye catching, using Aniline Dye Stain in a similar or slightly darker colour can be the answer.

    For more stain coverage and a beautiful finish, our Aniline Restoration Kit includes Aniline Dye Stain and can deliver a stunning make-over.
