Angelus Suede Dye Rust 3oz To dye suede bags, footwear and other small surfaces, use the special Angelus Suede Dye Rust 3oz. Suede is basically the inside of the leather, and unlike smooth leather, the fabric is soft with a distinct fibrous texture. Because of this special quality, you need to use special suede dye for this fabric. Suede dye is most effective for this material as it penetrates into the fibres of suede leather. Applying normal Angelus leather paint to the surface will not adhere and can even peel off. For dyeing suede, use our durable Angelus Suede Dye Rust 3oz. Applying Angelus Suede Dye Rust 3oz Applying Suede dye is slightly different from dyeing smooth leather with regular leather paint. This is because you do not apply a layer of paint to the leather, but instead a dye to the fibres of the leather. When using Angelus Suede Dye Rust 3oz, it is best to follow these steps: Brush the suede to remove dust particles and other dirt. Apply the first layer of suede dye evenly with the cotton ball provided. Make sure not to apply too much dye at once, as it will not be absorbed well by the suede and may start to peel off. Apply subsequent coats, after letting the first coat dry, until the desired result is achieved. Before using the suede item, we recommend allowing the last applied layer to dry for 24 hours. Please note! When dyeing suede, it is not possible to lighten a dark colour. Would you like to dye another type of leather, such as smooth leather?
