French Dye 50ml Saphir - DARK BROWN 05

SAPHIR LEATHER DYE - DARK BROWN

Saphir's Teinture Française in dark brown is an extremely penetrating alcohol-based dye. It is designed to dye a light color into a darker one.

It can be used on smooth leathers as well as on 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 shoemakers.

All colors in the range are miscible with each other, allowing you to create your own shades. If you are creating a mixture, be sure to prepare a sufficient quantity for the entire surface to be dyed.
To lighten a shade, you can use the lightening base (ref. WA326_00).
The color chart is provided for information purposes only. The final color 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.

Usage tips :
- For best results on smooth leathers, it is advisable to use Saphir leather stripper (ref. WA337) to open the leather's pores.
- Protect your hands with gloves, then apply the Teinture Française using the applicator pad. We recommend applying 2 thin coats to obtain an even, uniform 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 your suede and nubuck leathers, use the Saphir Renovétine spray (ref. WA325).
For your 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 your worn smooth leathers, apply Saphir Juvacuir (ref. WA069).
For your heavily worn smooth leathers, apply the Renovating Cream (ref. WA305).
