I don't want to tread on any trade secrets so if you don't want to answer, I'll understand.

The question has to do with dying your leather products. I have tried Tandy's Black Pro-dye and find it very unsatisfactory. It leaves the leather with a most offensive odor that is practically permanent. I have a belt that has been airing in the garage for 6 weeks and it still smells.

Is there something you have to do to use this dye, is there a better one out there or do you not use Tandy's dyes. I know that there is Fiebing's but I think that they are either made by Tandy or they make Tandy's.

Years ago when I was doing a lot of leather work Tandy's was the only dye I used and never had this problem.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
