FAQ
Can I use this dye on colored leather?

How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies with temperature and humidity, typically 2‑4 hours for a full cure.
Is the dye safe for shoes that will be worn outdoors?
Absolutely. Once fully cured, the dye is water‑resistant and maintains flexibility for outdoor use.
Do I need any special preparation before applying?
Clean the surface with a leather cleaner, let it dry completely, then apply the dye with the provided dauber.
