Product Overview
Aniline Waxy Matte Coating Dye 21 by Leather Doctor is a next-generation transparent surface coating dye that provides excellent color coverage with a waxy matte.
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 Dye 21 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.
