Powdered dye is also easy to transport as it is not subjected to tough rules because unlike other kinds of dyes, it is inflammableFor a successful leather treatment process, you will need to combine the powdered dye with some colourless denatured alcohol (also called Methylated Spirits, Wood Spirit, or Denatured Rectified Spirit) in a clean container. Add one portion of the dye to 500ml of colourless denatured alcohol. Consider reducing the amount of the colourless Denatured Alcohol when dealing with dyes that have bright colours. Mix the two components until well done, with no crystal in the solution. Let it rest for 1 hour before proceeding to apply the dye onto your untreated vegetable tanned leather. It is recommended that you use a soft brush and immerse the brush in water with every stroke for crisp results.

In this instance, be careful that they do not get on your leather while you work it, to prevent unwanted smudges.The dye is stocked in numerous shades.Please note: The powdered dye is meant to be mixed with colourless denatured alcohol exclusively (rubbing alcohol, or other kinds of alcohol are not suitable for this product) and the mixture used for treating vegetable-tanned leather alone. This dye should only be used on vegetable-tanned leather that has not been previously treated or dyed. Unfit for use on treated leather like those of handbags manufactured in factories, tabletops, jackets, leather seats, car seats among others. The reason is that a good number of these things have been pre-dyed or pre-treated to discourage subsequent dyeing. There's a great possibility of them having a plastic layer that inhibits the uptake of the dye. However, it is possible to test whether the items can be dyed. Take what you refer as pre-treated or dyed leather and completely clean it using a recommended cleaning agent. Proceed by putting a drop of alcohol on the treated portion. You may need to rub in the alcohol gently. The results can go two ways: the leather absorbs the alcohol without ruining the leather, or it ruins it. The first result indicates that the dye is suitable for leather. Since impeccable results are not guaranteed on pre-treated or pre-dyed leather, it is prudent that you contact the manufacturer for information. A rule of thumb for us is that you always test the dye on a tiny portion of the item before deciding to dye the whole item, especially in the face of uncertainty of the suitability of the dye to the leather.
