Product Overview
Aniline Gloss Coating Dye 76 by Leather Doctor is a next-generation transparent surface coating dye designed to provide excellent color coverage. This vivid and bright dye coats the leather surface rather than penetrating it, offering enhanced color intensity and uniformity. It can be applied over existing bronzing-stained dye effects, such as Aniline 21, or over existing finishes to enrich and revitalize the leather’s appearance.
How Transparent Aniline Coating Dye 76 Work?
1 Transparent color intensity increases with layers and is similar to working with water coloring in painting.
2 Overlapping strokes will produce a deeper color intensity.
3 To achieve a consistent lighter color range, the original color will need to be diluted with a 'Clear' color accordingly.
4 Always do a test with the color to determine the desired result.
5 Always do a test on the application method used to achieve the desired color intensity before actual work.
6 Airbrushing with a pressure of 80 to 100 psi will produce the best result in color consistency.
7 Other application methods including using a varnishing brush, padding with a folding towel, etc may produce different results.
8 In practice, color shading can be achieved in 2 methods:
- Method 1 is by fine application evenly with Paasche Airbrush will produce a professional appearance.
- Method 2 is by brushing or padding hand technique to create a salvage appearance.
9 The color intensity can also be predetermined by first mixing with 'Clear' to lower it, and applying accordingly to produce an even appearance or a salvage appearance depending on the application tools used.
Shading Example
The above is a shading example with Antique-Brown:
- 1st row with color intensity increasing from right to left.
- 2nd row shows Antique-Brown mixed with 3 parts of 'Clear' and color intensity similarly increases from right to left.
This example uses a small cotton bud to illustrate the overlapping shade (salvage) created.
