I had a limb bolt quiver on my Talltines that I bought used which had been dyed a darker brown by the original owner. When I went to put another brand quiver on the bow I noticed that the leather bracket on the quiver bled onto my limbs. Is there anything that will safely remove the dye without damaging the finish on the limbs?
Thanks.

Try hot soap and water, that should get it off the finish without much problem.

Try alcohol if soap and water don't work. A lot of leather dyes are alcohol based.

Methyl Hydrate is what I use in my taxidermy shop

Just buy a new bow!

The above are good suggestions. A product called Goo Gone sometimes works wonders.
