What is Neutral Dye?

Updated a year ago

This dye is completely clear. It is used to dilute dye pigments and can help to obtain different shades of that color. 

For example, adding some Neutral to a small amount of Blue Dye will change the hue and lessen the blue color. Adding the Blue Dye TO the Neutral Dye will allow you to really lighten the blue and you will use less of the dye to reach that color. 

Because there is not a “white” dye offered, this is the best way to achieve a lighter dye color.

Hope this makes sense!

How can I prevent the dye from bleeding?

Updated a year ago

To prevent the dye from bleeding you can brush the article after it has dried and then use Angelus Water & Stain Repellent on top to seal it in. Some people even mix our acrylic finisher with water and airbrush it over to finalize it.

How do Angelus Dyes differ from Angelus Paints?

How do Angelus Dyes differ from Angelus Paints?

Updated a year ago

Dyes takes the color of what is under them. So if you dye something white with red it will turn pink. It mixes with it. Paint sits on the surface and grabs on. You can cover anything with paint. Our paint is water based while our dyes are alcohol based.

Black Suede Dye issues:

Black Suede Dye issues:

Updated a year ago

Black Suede can have issues from a few things. If you apply too much it can cause an iridescent look. If you do not shake the bottle it will not be mixed and give a hue. The actual article may not be real suede. To alleviate most of these situations you just have to wipe down with cloth of water & alcohol.

What is the difference between Leather & Suede Dyes?

What is the difference between Leather & Suede Dyes?

Updated a year ago

Leather dyes have a lot of pigment and are really strong. Suede Dyes are lighter in pigment and use a slightly different formula to keep the suede soft. If you use Leather dye on Suede it will make the nap of the leather harder.
