Angelus Jet Black Leather Dye – Professional Color Restoration for Equestrian Leather
Restore faded saddles, tack, boots, and belts to vibrant black with Angelus leather dye. This heavily pigmented, concentrated formula penetrates leather fibers for rich, even color that resists peeling and cracking when applied correctly. Perfect for riders and craftspeople who demand durable results without refinishing.
For best results, clean leather with Angelus Leather Preparer before applying. Apply thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Allow 8 hours drying time between coats. Store away from heat and flame.
What leather surfaces can I use Angelus leather dye on?
Angelus leather dye is designed for smooth leather only. Do not use on suede, roughed, or brushed leather surfaces. Best results come from clean leather prepared with Angelus Leather Preparer. Safe for saddles, tack, boots, belts, handbags, wallets, and leather craft projects.
Will this leather dye peel, crack, or wash off?
When properly applied, Angelus leather dye resists peeling, cracking, and washing off. Apply thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat for best results. Allow 8 hours of drying time between coats. Multiple thin applications create a more durable, longer-lasting finish than thick single coats.
Can I dilute the dye to make lighter shades?
Yes. Angelus leather dye can be diluted with solvent to achieve lighter shades or blended to create custom color intensity. This gives you control for restoration projects where you need to match existing leather or create specific tones. Experimentation on scrap leather first is recommended.
How much does 1 quart of Angelus leather dye cover?
Coverage varies by leather type, texture, and application method. One 1-quart bottle covers approximately 150-200 square feet of smooth leather with thin coats using the included wool dauber. Larger projects or heavy applications may require additional bottles. Thin coats provide better durability than heavy applications.
Is Angelus leather dye safe for saddles and riding tack?
Yes. Angelus leather dye is widely used for saddle and tack restoration by equestrian riders. It penetrates leather deeply for long-lasting color without affecting leather flexibility or tack function. Clean tack thoroughly with Angelus Leather Preparer before applying dye for best results.
What is included in the 1-quart bottle?
The 1-quart Angelus leather dye bottle includes one wool dauber applicator for controlled, easy application on detailed or large leather surfaces. The wool dauber makes it simple to apply even coats to saddle details, tooling, and carved areas without drips or uneven color.
