You are here: Pet Hardware Leather Dyes & Glues Gel Based Dyes Eco-Flo Gel Antique 236 ml: Black
Eco-Flo Gel Antique is a thick, water-based gel dye designed to create a patina and antique look on vegetable-tanned leather. The gel enhances the natural texture of the leather and produces a relief effect, where the color remains darker in impressions and cuts, while raised areas stay lighter. Thanks to its gel consistency, it allows for clean application and makes it easy to squeeze out an exact amount of dye directly from the bottle.
Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Apply the gel generously onto a dry, soft cloth or sheepskin wool. Work it quickly into the leather using circular motions until you achieve an even shade across the entire surface. Immediately wipe off any excess gel with a clean cloth. Once dry, buff the surface to a soft sheen and apply a final protective finish, such as Super Shene #2610-01, to seal the color.
This product is not suitable for suede or nubuck leather. Never pour the gel directly onto the leather, as this may cause dark stains.
Not sure about the color? Screens can be deceiving. That's why our online color chart features real photos of dyed leather in every shade, patina and acrylic paint currently available in stock. Treat the color chart as a guide - the final color will always depend on the type of leather, the tanning process and the specific production batch.
I like gel antiquing best on tooled belts and bags. The gel is thicker than liquid dyes, does not run and brings out every knife cut and stamp impression. It also works as a dye on smooth leather, giving a rich shade with soft shading, livelier than an alcohol-based dye. I apply it in circular motions so the colour gets everywhere, and wipe off the excess straight away. Once the gel dries on the surface, it can no longer be wiped off.
Some finishes lift a little colour when applied, so I work gently and with a clean cloth.
