I dilute USMC black with 50/50 dye and water. This causes the dye to dry pretty quick but also to turn into a powdery substance on the surface. This powdery layer wipes 95% percent away and makes the leather appear distressed or aged. Then applying your actually dye or gel gives a similar effect. Although you want to go lighter for the second dye otherwise the work doesnt show as well.

Thank you! Love the aged leather technique for belts, wallets and portfolios.

You can use an a small air spray gun as well works for more or larger items. works to apply resists or top coats as well.

Cool video being in front of a camera suits you well. Love the leather dying tips!

So dilute tea and coffee work well for paper. I haven't tried it with leather but it should work.

Very nice technique, I like how you used the rolled up cloth to apply the dye

Was that Kirk and Sweeny I saw? That's my favorite rum!

4:05 to 4:09 that bottle looks neat though i so want to see it encased in leather to look like a water bottle idea

Tandy definitely needs to sponsor you! Also, what do you recommend buying to start in leatherworking? I was thinking of getting into it.

Love your videos, especially the Dieselpunk.Ro leather hat with runes. Where'd you come up with this idea?

[TheLidlClan]

Hi Dieselpunk has another way to age leather with felt pad and bees wax.

Me: "Oh cool! I wonder if he's gonna roll up cloth to make a d-"
CL3VER: "Roll this piece of cloth to make a dauber!"

Me: "He would need to apply the dye lightly to-"
CL3VER: "Apply the dye very lightly"

Me: "It almost feels like it's drybrush-"
CL3VER: "It's like drybrushing"

You nailed all the points man xD 👏👏👏
