So, now we'll try something a little different which is a leather stain. Leather stains are
a little bit different than leather dyes in that what, what they're kind of used for is
to kind of get some color, sort of deep into like the grooves, and deep into like the texture
of the design and then you let it dry and then basically you use a cloth, kind of a
moist cloth and you remove as much of it as you can. What it does, is it kind of just
allows, causes your design to pop out a little bit more. It kind of gives it a petina, kind
of making it look like old leather or old silver, right? So that's kind of the difference
between a stain and a dye. This is a, kind of a brown one here, and so what I'm going
to do is just, this stuff's pretty, pretty kind of gloppy, it's kind of thick, like kind
of a thick ink almost. What I'm going to do, this is that little design we did earlier,
just simple little just one opt design. I'm going to kind of apply this liberally kind
of over this area and I'll, it doesn't really matter if you get it on the whole area but
I'll just go ahead and do it. I'm really going to kind of work it in to all of the kind of
little nooks and crannies and then I'm going to let it sit and let that dry. Then after
it's dry I'm going to try and remove as much of it as I can, but it will leave behind kind
of whatever is kind of stuck between the nooks and crannies and it'll give it kind of a nice
antique look to it.
