I just received two brand new holsters, one from UBG and the other from C5 Leather. Both were very well made and gave me an idea (first mistake).
I have an older holster that's very servicable but badly in need of a dye job. After some research, I purchased some Deglaser, Lincoln shoe dye and Eco-Flo sealer. I stripped off the remainder of the old finish with the Deglaser, applied two coats of the dye (as per the instructions) then applied the sealent. I waited 24 hours and then using a shoe brush, buffed the holster. It looked really nice, but when I buffed it with a soft cloth, the dye kept coming off onto the cloth. After handling the holster, I had traces of the dye all over my hands. Anyone, especially you holster makes, have any ideas or suggestions?
