SURFACE PREPARATION
The process of leather restoration and dyeing consists of several significant steps that are to be carefully followed in order to get a high-quality result.

The surface to be dyed must be thoroughly cleaned from dust, dirt and foreign particles using the Leather Ultimate Cleaner.

In case there is strong contamination and grease in the leather or on the surface, it is necessary to extract the contamination and grease using the Leather Degreaser.

After the thorough cleaning and surface preparation, the leather must be degreased by the Leather Alcohol Cleaner or the Leather Liquid Degreaser.

DYE APPLICATION
Shake the bottle thoroughly before application.

Application with a sponge, brush or roller: The optimum viscosity of the dye allows to apply it manually, dyeing minor spot damage on the leather surface, creating a base coat for subsequent leather treatment or colour restoration.

You can also apply the dye with uniform thin coats by spraying with an air brush or a spray gun.

Pneumatic spraying with an air brush or a spray gun (general recommendations):

• The dye can be diluted with distilled water;
• Nozzle diameter: 0.5-1.2 mm;
• Pressure: 1.1 - 8 bar depending on the model of the air brush/spray gun;
• The compressed air must be free of water and oil;
• The dye must be thoroughly mixed and filtered with a 190-micron filter before application.

FINISHING
After dyeing, the leather surface should be protected with the Leather Dye Fixative. It is recommended to apply the Leather Dye Fixative by spraying in order to get a uniform coat for the best result, although it can also be applied with a sponge, brush or an applicator.

For finishing and protection of your leather items, we recommend to use our innovative product line of the Leather Top Coat and the Leather Protective Cream.

CLEANING OF TOOLS
After the application of all the coats, rinse the tools with water and if necessary use LeTech Leather Prep.
