Description

LeTech Leather Oil Dye – Professional Penetrating Dye for Vegetable-Tanned Leather

LeTech Leather Oil Dye is a premium, oil-based penetrating dye developed for craftsmen who demand depth of colour, exceptional clarity and long-lasting performance. Unlike surface coatings or paint-type colourants, this dye absorbs into the fibres of vegetable-tanned leather, creating a rich, even tone that enhances the natural characteristics of the hide rather than covering them.

Formulated for professional results, Leather Oil Dye delivers outstanding colour saturation, superior light-fastness, and a beautifully supple finish. Once cured, the leather retains its natural softness and flexibility, with a refined appearance ideal for luxury leather goods, belts, saddlery, footwear, wallets and handcrafted accessories.

Whether you are restoring a classic piece or creating something entirely new, LeTech Leather Oil Dye provides dependable, elegant colour that lasts.

Instructions

Instructions for Use

1. Preparation

  • Ensure the leather is clean, dry and free from waxes, oils or finishes.

  • For previously treated leather, use a deglazer to open the grain and allow deeper penetration.

  • Always test on a hidden area or scrap of identical leather.

2. Application

  • Shake well before use.

  • Apply using a sponge, cloth, dauber or spray equipment.

  • Work in smooth, even strokes, allowing the dye to penetrate the leather.

  • Build colour gradually with additional coats if required.

  • Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next.

3. After Dyeing

  • Once completely dry, gently buff the surface with a clean cloth to remove any excess pigment.

  • Apply a suitable leather conditioner or finish to nourish the leather and protect the colour.

  • Allow the dyed leather to cure before use.
