Description
The 9 Pack MR MAC Leathercraft Dye & Seal Kit provides a versatile collection of eight vibrant leather dyes plus a larger bottle of Seal & Shine. It is an excellent choice for leatherworkers who want a practical range of colours for dyeing, mixing and finishing natural leather projects.
MR MAC Leathercraft Dyes are water-soluble, making them easy to apply, dilute and blend. Use the colours directly from the bottle or mix different shades to create a colour suited to your project. The kit contains Black, Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Lime, Black Cherry and Cherry in convenient 125 ml bottles.
After the leather has been dyed and allowed to dry completely, apply the included MR MAC Seal & Shine. This protective finish helps seal the dyed surface, reduces colour transfer onto clothing and gives the finished leather an attractive gloss. The generous 250 ml bottle provides enough finish for numerous leathercraft projects.
Buying the complete kit saves approximately $10 compared with purchasing the products individually.

How to Use
Ensure the leather is clean, dry and free from oils, dust and previous surface finishes. Shake the selected dye thoroughly and test it on a small, inconspicuous area or a piece of matching scrap leather.
Apply the dye evenly in light coats using a sponge, brush, dauber or soft cloth. Allow each coat to dry before deciding whether additional colour is required. The dyes can be diluted or mixed to adjust the strength and shade.
Once the final dye coat has dried completely, apply MR MAC Seal & Shine evenly over the surface. Allow the finish to dry thoroughly before using or handling the leather item.
Always wear gloves and protect your work surface when applying leather dye.

Why Choose This Kit?
The kit brings together eight useful colours, ranging from essential Black to vibrant Lime and rich Black Cherry. Because the dyes are water-soluble, leatherworkers can dilute colours for lighter results or blend them to create customised shades.
The included Seal & Shine completes the dyeing process by helping protect the surface, reduce unwanted colour transfer and produce an attractive gloss. It is a convenient, economical choice for beginners, hobbyists and experienced leatherworkers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the colours be mixed together?
Yes. The water-soluble MR MAC dyes can be blended to create customised colours.
Can I dilute the dyes?
Yes. They can be diluted to achieve a lighter or less concentrated colour. Always test the mixture before treating the complete project.
Do I need to seal the dyed leather?
Yes. Apply the included Seal & Shine after the dye has dried to help protect the surface and reduce colour transfer.
What type of leather should I use?
The dyes are best suited to raw, natural and vegetable-tanned leather that can absorb the colour.
