Great to see you back in action and lovely transformed pair of shoes. The owner will (should) indeed be a satisfied man. Only remark for this video is that it is not too informative. I see what Pierre Paul is doing, but what is that dye he is using? Or in other words, do you think this is a job we could do ourselves or should we leave this to the pro’s?
The dye being used is a product made in France by Saphir. It comes in a variety of colors that can be mixed to create the desired effect.
The job of coloring a shoe is to be left to the pros or those who have quite a bit of experience with such elements as acetone and dye. On the other hand we can all learn to antique our shoes using a few colors of wax when polishing.
Wonderful!
Interesting. What kind of dye are you using?
