If you want the color a little darker allow the first coat to soak in for a few minutes and apply another coat. Wipe off the excess dye with a clean paper-towel. It’s a personal preference, but I dye the flesh side also. Make sure you get the edges and into all the stamp impressions. Work the dye into the leather in a circular motion, evenly covering the entire piece. It’ll leave a dark spot where it first makes contact. Don’t pour the dye directly on the leather. Use a dauber, damp sponge or wool scrap to apply the dye to the leather. I use Tandy’s Professional Waterstain® as I’ve tried others, but it works best for me easy to apply, even staining, etc. Pour a small amount of dye (if you spill the dye, you will have only a small amount to clean up) in a plastic or glass dish (never metal). I like to use a cardboard box to prevent any chance of dye splashing onto my workbench. Glove-up you only want to dye the leather not your skin. Put down cardboard or several layers of newspaper to protect your work area and absorb any excess dye/stain. The dotted lines are reference lines for gouges on the rough (flesh) side of the leather. Keep checking to ensure you mark all solid lines, stitching, rivet and slot holes, except don't mark for the hole for the snap at the top of the flap. Use a metal ruler or square to help keep lines straight and corners at a right angle. Occasionally lift one end of the film to check to make sure you're copying it all. Use a stylus or even a dry ball-point pen to transfer the pattern to the smooth side of the cased leather. Just flip the pattern over if you want the flashlight on the left and trace through the backside of the pattern. This arrangement seems to work best for a right-handed person when the pouch is worn on the left side of your waist as the flashlight sits behind the multi-tool. The pattern is for a multi-tool pouch with the flashlight holder/sleeve on the right side. Because the leather is moist, the impression from the stylus will show clearly even after going through a couple of layers. On the other hand, you can trace the pattern on to the film with a pencil and use it to outline the pattern on the leather. Tape the film and pattern to the work surface to keep everything from moving. I use tracing film between the pattern and the leather to keep the paper pattern from getting wet. *Tandy Leather Factory Item # in Brackets 1/16" Adhesive-Backed Neoprene Foam Padding.Fiebing's Acrylic Resolene (Optional).Granite Slab or Similar Hard, Flat Surface.No more cluttered pockets or lost items - just a sleek, organized, and stylish EDC pouch that you'll love to wear.
