Dye suede with Fiebing’s Suede and Rough-Out Dye
Fiebing’s Suede and Rough-Out Dye is the world’s best known suede dye! It penetrates deeply and dyes thoroughly! All the colors are easy to mix to create a large palette of middle tones.
Dye preparation
Prepare suede or rough-out article by brushing with suede brush to remove dirt. Please make sure to remove all stains (specially important for used shoes) as these will still show after dyeing! Fiebing’s Suede and Rough-Out Dye is a stain and does not cover!
Shiny spots must be roughened.
How do I dye?
Use a wool-dauber for dyeing or our little high density sponges. Wear rubber gloves and fill the dye in a little glass bowl (dyeing will then be much easier and faster). For dyeing suede it is important to dye twice in order to obtain the best stain coverage possible and an even result. After each dyeing process allow to dry for at least 12 hours.
After dyeing: fixing and impregnating
When thoroughly dry, brush the leather with a suede brush to restore the suede look and raise the nap (the little hairs on the leather stick together after dyeing and have to be raised through brushing). Rub the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove excess pigments (otherwise the leather may lose a little color after fixation). After drying you should impregnate the leather with a high quality impregnation spray to fix the color.
