Interesting Observation re: dye remover 7.9
I was dealing with a sauvage-effect that had a highly visible wear spot where the lighter print color had been removed through use. The leather is an semi-aniline. Ekornes Stressless "paloma" grade leather. The wear spot was on the lower center of the backrest, about where your belt would sit. I'm guessing that prolonged sitting in the chair, combined with the use of a stiff belt, and the pressure, abrasion, and heat of the leather belt against the leather backrest, created that specific wear spot. I applied dye remover 7.9 to the area including the surrounding parts. After letting it dwell for 24 hours, I wiped off the dye remover 7.9, and it evenly stripped the printed color layer and made the chair look beautiful again. The base coat of color remained, and the chair looked wonderfully even in color and tone. The base and print colors on this specific color chair were extremely close in color. Exceedingly close. So close that even with the entire print layer stripped off this area, one would not be able to tell that the chair was touched up, at least not without previous knowledge. It was an interesting "hidden" use of the dye 7.9 for me.
