Excellent, no mess easy to apply and plenty for a 3 seater leather sofa

Brilliant for making worn leather look new again with a natural look and NOT a paint like finish. Very pleased with this and would recommend.

Like paint, you need to apply wax/balms/dyes to a clean/cleaned surface, then allow it to dry before applying a second coat, and again for a third coat.Changing the colour of a leather item takes time and patience. If you just throw a tin of paint on a wall you'll have a wall with paint on it and not a painted wall. Likewise, if you just smear this stuff on, don't wipe off excess and don't allow the proper drying times (ie. when the product is dry itself), then you will find this to be more like shoe polish that comes off again easily. You MUST take the time to APPLY/DRY/BUFF LIGHTLY for three coats (or more) if changing colour, and two coats (lor more) if restoring colour. Cut a single corner and it will come away with little use and you'll wear residue.APPLY >> DRY (properly) >> BUFF LIGHTLY between coats "when dry" to remove excess (like keying a paint surface between coats) >> CHECK DRY >> APPLY SECOND/THIRD COATS as per the previous steps for the first coat. ALWAYS check it is thoroughly dry before advancing to a new layer.Do it any. other wasy, and you'll simply have a good polish.

250ml/10 fl.oz. of black dye balm in a foil sealed black plastic screw top tub.Included are an instruction leaflet, application brush (most useful), a pair of soft buffing pads (small), plastic spatula and a minute cellophane wrapped pair of disposable gloves.Ditch the gloves and use widely available rubber/nitrile disposable ones instead.The gloves included in my leather dyeing kit were too flimsy for use.However, the leather dye/colour restorer is great.The consistency has a soft gel-like quality, allowing it to be applied with ease to the leather article and dries to a matt finish, akin to applying a non-drip paint.Buff it when dried and if necessary, polish.I buff using a larger microfibre cloth for such tasks, for the included pads are too small.The amount of dye balm used, depends upon the quality and task, of the material being used.It has excellent coverage, I recommend using the brush, is easy to apply and a little goes along way, so is very economical.I used kitchen paper to clean the brush and as can be seen in the photographs, unlike me, in my eagerness to start dyeing, wear disposable gloves.Because I was quick, the dye just rinsed off under a running tap using a nail brush.I am delighted with the effectiveness and value of this dye, as well it's ease of application, particularly as my next dyeing task is an entire leather reclining chair.The dye/colour restorer is available in black, dark brown, mid brown and tan.Per included photographs, I dyed some tan leather stitching with black; before and after images.

You get a tub of leather dye along with very basic disposable gloves, a brush, sponges, etc.First off, this is very liquid and messy to use. So use newspaper or old sheets to protect your work area.Then apply balm to clean surface. I used in one case a tiny tipped paintbrush, and on the other, an old, clean rag rather than the brush included, to be more precise.Bear in mind that if you are not doing very very minor touch ups, this is a dye so unless it's a perfect colour match, you will need to coat the whole item.I used this to fill in small cracks in old leather belts and boots and scuffed areas on a dark brown leather jacket. Because I didn't want to have to re-colour the whole item, I used very little where needed. This covered the whitish areas very well. Because I didn't go massively past the cracked, colour loss areas, I didn't have to do the whole thing. One coat worked super well to camouflage/blend in the needed areas. I didn't go in for a second coat because I don't want a colour block that shows. So my advice is to stand back and decide what you're trying to achieve and then get started.Very effective.Because you only need a little, one tub should cover a very large area - not tested but probably a leather armchair.Another note, store upright in a baggie because this is a liquid and definitely stains!
