dyeing quiver hoods?
« on: June 08, 2012, 01:05:00 PM »
Ive got a buck skin colored quiver hood, i was hoping to darken it up to match my bow a little better.  Does anyone have any suggestions on doing so?

First would be to remove any finish or sealer. Might use fine sandpaper.
A good dye like fiebings leather dye can then be put on and when dry some type of sealer added.

I've done this many times.you don't mention what the hoods made of.if its rawhide you can use laquer thinner to remove the old finish like mac said.then fiebings,then I put a couple coats of minwax wipe on poly to seal.

I had a Mini-Boa that I wanted a little darker. I just rubbed a little vegetable oil into it.  Darkened up quite a bit and stayed that way as long as I had it. Pretty easy and worked well.
