Leather dye

[DLLegg@aol.com]

Hi Eddie,
I've been using leather dye for touch-up on sharps for some time now.  First
I lightly steel wool (0000) the entire sharp to remove any oils from fingers,
furniture polish, etc.  Then I coat the entire sharp with the dye using a
very soft camel hair brush.  I find a 1/2 in. flat works well.  Within ten
minutes the dye has dried.  It will go from a glossy "wet" look to dull.  I
follow up with a coat of Deft satin spray finish.
Be aware that any dings or scratches in the sharps will be much more obvious
once they have an even color and sheen.
