Quebracho dye problem

Submitted by David Moore on 04/16/2003. ( ) 205.188.209.103

I have been trying to dye deerskins with quebrcho. the skins aretanned in EZ-tan. When they're wet they're a dark brown but when they dry, they turn pink. I have tried different concentrations of extract, different dyeing times and dyeing the skins both before and after tanning. They still turn pink when dry. I've followed instruction from Bruce Rittel and Van Dykes.

David Moore,
If you will send us the weight of the skins along with the % of which chemicals you have used on the skins, alnog with the current condition of the skins, we will do our best to give you some suggestions. E-Mail address is above. Good luck and if you are a Christian, we wish you a joyful and happy Easter. Dave.
