Thanks, Tom for a nice article. It’s a subject that seems to come up often.
I’ve got a couple of questions…
Do you have a formula to get a nice burnt orange color?
Relative to fur does the leather stay soft…say if you were dyeing zonker strips?
Recently I was messing around with some rabbit …trying to get a good burnt orange and I noticed the leather turned out stiff. I wasn’t really paying close attention to the degree of heat but it wasn’t real high. If I remember correctly if one stays below 140 degrees the leather stays soft…it’s been awhile and I notice most of my homemade dyed furs are not zonkers…
