GIARDINI - MAXCRAFT™ DYE

Product information "GIARDINI - MAXCRAFT™ DYE"

Leather colour / MAXCRAFT™ DYE

Suitable for even dyeing of natural smooth leather (vegetable tanned or chrome tanned).

MAXCRAFT™ offers you a wide range of colour options available readily mixed or to be mixed by yourself. There is nothing standing your way to create your own colour variations. Whether for full-surface dyeing or for background colouring with floral motifs - you get an excellent coverage like an acrylic or top coat. However, the surface texture or scars are retained as in the use of classic penetrating dye or antique gel.

Excellent features:

VOC reduced (volatile organic compounds)
water repellent when dried out
abrasion and scratch resistant
fade
Subsequent finishing is not necessary
colours are miscible with each other
colours perfectly combinable with our MAXMATT™ and MAXEDGE™ edge colours
Minimal colour differences when using different types of leather.

Consistency: viscous

Important!:

Only use the leather dyes for smooth leather.
MAXCRAFT™ leather colours are not suitable for recolouring already industrially dyed and finished leathers (eg coloured furniture leather or automotive leather)
Only partially suitable for colouring leather edges. Use the matching colours from our MAXMATT™ or MAXEDGE™ range.
Please always test on a sample before dyeing on the actual work piece first. This way unpleasant results can be avoided in advance.
If you want to add water to dilute, always use distilled water. (Maximum dilution of 20%, higher dilution reduces the properties of the dye)
Store the product at consistent temperatures.
Use within 6 months after opening.
MAXCRAFT™ is fundamentally different from all other leather colours, making direct comparisons difficult.

Application:

Stir the leather dye thoroughly. Please do not shake, as otherwise bubbles form which dissolve only very slowly.
Apply leather dye to a slightly dampened sponge, e.g. our Fiebing's Dye Sponge.
For dyeing leather, we recommend slightly diluting the paint and applying it with a brush.
The use of wool daubers for dyeing is not recommended, relief type markings can be the result.
Rub the leather surface to be dyed completely with circular movements and slight pressure to cover the whole area.
Repeat the process as needed a second time to get a denser dye job.
After about 20 minutes, the dye is dry and can be polished again if desired. This way you can get the desired gloss effect.

Please note that the use of different display technologies and individual display settings can lead to distortions in the colour representation. Therefore, the colours shown on your display may differ slightly from the actual colour of the products shown on our product photos. If in doubt, we recommend viewing the product photos on another display or contacting us.

MAXCRAFT™ Leather Wash up (Wash Up Finish)

MAXCRAFT™ Leather Wash up (Wash Up Finish) Leather Wash Up is an auxiliary product of the MAXCRAFT series, designed to create a wash-up/vintage effect on the leather. This finish is applied after the coloring phase of the leather surface is completed by using the MAXCRAFT Leather dye. It acts with a superficial and partial removal of the dye, thus creating a particular wash up effect on the leather surface. The product can be applied by hand with a dauber, a cloth or sponge. In case of repaint operations the product can be used to clean the leather before being dyed again. After having realized the Wash up effect, other products of the Maxcraft series can also be applied on top of it, such as Leather dye Fixative, Leather Gloss Finish or Leather Dye Conditioner.

The thinner should be mixed together with the Maxcraft Leather dye. More quantity is added and more clear the color will become. The product has been designed to not affect the technical characteristics of the dye, therefore there are no limits to the amount of thinner that can be added to the Leather dye.

MAXCRAFT™ Leather Conditioner

MAXCRAFT™ Leather Conditioner It is water-based and contains a mixture of valuable, carefully selected waxes. It has a fluid appearance, a whitish color and a characteristic odor. The valuable waxes in the product have the task of penetrating the leather and maintaining it, while the softness, the gloss level or the opacity remain unchanged. It also creates a light protective layer that protects the leather surface from weather, occasional drops, etc. MAXCRAFT ™ Leather Conditioner should only be used as a last coat. The protective layer created by the use repels any subsequently applied finishes. The product can be applied by hand with a sponge, a soft cloth or a dauber. The presence of balance additives makes this process very easy without leaving scratches on the leather surface. It can be applied to all full-grain leather and dries very quickly after application (5-10 minutes) depending on the environmental conditions. Due to its properties, the leather conditioner can be applied to natural leather, after dyeing and finishing and on already finished leather or on leather items (such as bags, accessories, sofas, car interiors, etc.) as periodic maintenance.

MAXCRAFT™ Leather Gloss Finish

MAXCRAFT™ Leather Gloss Finish, is a glossy coating for the surface of the leather made of special resins and shellac. The leather surface becomes very shiny when applied. MAXCRAFT ™ Leather Gloss finish is color-neutral. It can be applied to all natural full grain leather, even on some pre-dyed leather. (Please try out the remaining pieces in advance) Generally, it is applied by hand with a soft cloth or sponge. Extenders in the composition of the finish allow the product to be easily applied and banding is reduced on application. The low viscosity of the product also allows the use of the finish in an airbrush gun. Although it is a water-based product, the drying time is very short (5-10 minutes, depending on room temperature). Once completely dry, it can be further processed by applying a second coat or by polishing the surface with a soft cloth or sponge. The mechanical effect of polishing actually contributes to the "sealing" of the coating rubber, which melts with the heat given off by the rubbing in the pores of the leather and increases the gloss level. Another positive feature: The softness and the original feel of the leather remains unchanged. The elasticity of the resins in the composition prevents the treated surface from becoming brittle or tearing even after a long time.
