I'll post soon, depending on when I finish them.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-38018303191062784442011-11-02T18:04:31.045-05:002011-11-02T18:04:31.045-05:00Oops.

Looks like I'm gonna get a crash course in leather and fabric dying.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-75962869544565093322011-11-02T14:28:35.509-05:002011-11-02T14:28:35.509-05:00@Nick: Great...I'd be interested to find out h...@Nick: Great...I'd be interested to find out how it holds up with regular use. I think I could easily get away with it on my turquoise chair, since it's only an accent piece.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-10851723018914015762011-11-02T09:35:37.746-05:002011-11-02T09:35:37.746-05:00Thanks Dana.

However, I did see an old Ekornes lounge chair and ottoman that were done with upholstery spray that you buy at auto supply stores for leather car seats, and it looked amazingly good. I don't know how well it would hold up to daily use though. <br /><br />I have a turquoise vinyl chair that I would like to clean up, so I was doing some research the other day and found this site:<br /><br />http://www.leatherworldtech.comDana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-39336926085713942352011-11-01T19:24:16.749-05:002011-11-01T19:24:16.749-05:00Hey Dana.

I've got a Knoll Pollock that I'm looking to buy, but the leather is in pretty bad shape. Not torn or anything, just has a lot of crease marks and other places where the dye has worn/scratched off.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-6662356874481163802011-11-01T14:01:29.952-05:002011-11-01T14:01:29.952-05:00@Tanya: I do too.
