French Dye 50ml Sapphire - BLACK BASE 01

SAPHIR LEATHER DYE - BLACK

Saphir's Teinture Française (French Dye) in black is an extremely penetrating alcohol-based dye. It is designed to change a light color to a darker one.

It can be used on smooth leathers as well as suede, nubuck, or velvet leathers. Specially formulated for leathers with minimal porosity, Teinture Française penetrates even surfaces with low absorbency, where other dyes remain on the surface. It is the go-to dye for professional cobblers.

All colors in the range are miscible with each other, allowing you to create your own shades. If mixing, be sure to prepare a sufficient quantity for the entire surface to be dyed.
To lighten a shade, you can use the lightener base (ref. WA326_00).
The color chart is provided as a guide only. The final color obtained depends on the original shade and the nature of the leather.
A preliminary test on an inconspicuous area of the leather is recommended to verify the shade.

Instructions for use :
- For best results on smooth leathers, it is recommended to use Saphir leather preparer (ref. WA337) to open the pores of the leather.
- Protect your hands with gloves, then apply the Teinture Française with the applicator pad. We recommend applying 2 thin coats to obtain a uniform and even shade.
- Allow to dry for 2 hours between each coat.
- To ensure optimal results after applying the dye, it is recommended to use a specific finishing product:
For suede and nubuck leathers, use Saphir Renovétine spray (ref. WA325).
For smooth leathers in good condition, apply a Surfine cream for shoes (ref. WA323) or a Canadian cream for leather goods or jackets (ref. WA327).
For worn smooth leathers, apply Saphir Juvacuir (ref. WA069).
For very worn smooth leathers, apply the Renovating Cream (ref. WA305).
