King Ranch Colors

A water-borne penetrating dye for coloring King Ranch aniline and semi-aniline leather.

Easy to apply. Original look & feel.

Check that the color matches. Always add #SL-7 crosslinker (1/4oz per 8oz of color) to the color and mix well. Remove stains as much as possible (#TC- triclean prep cleaner works well, allow to dry). Spray or apply a light coat of color. Allow to dry, then check the feel of the leather. Apply additional coats as needed. To increase gloss, spray a coat of crosslinked aniline clear base.

Remove stains as much as possible. Spray a wet coat with (TC) Triclean Prep Cleaner over the entire area. Use a soft nylon brush to lightly scrub clean. Blot dry with a clean lint free towel or paper towel. Allow to dry completely. Use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process. Lightly sand the leather with #600 sandpaper. This will help to break the surface coating and allow penetration (always sand before using color #SAC-707).

Check the leathers ability for penetration by placing a drop of water on several areas. Wait for minute, if the water leaves a dark circle, then the leather will accept aniline dye. If the water beads up with no dark circle, a second or third cleaning is required.

Semi-aniline leather finish. Color: SAC-707 Chaparrel.

This color has a semi-aniline finish. A light topcoat protective clear is applied by the factory over the color to help resist staining.

After prep cleaning, a light sanding with #600 sandpaper is required to remove the protective topcoat.

1. Check color match. Mix #SL-7 crosslinker (1/4oz per 8oz of color). into the semi-aniline dye color.
2. Apply a light coat of the semi-aniline dye color by spray, wipe on or brush on method.
3. Allow to dry. A hair dryer may be used to speed drying.
4. Apply additional coats as needed, allowing each coat of color to dry to touch.
5. To slightly increase the gloss, apply a top coat clear of #SAC - semi- aniline clear mixed with crosslinker (#SL-7 - 1/4oz per 8oz of color).

Always add #SL-7 super crosslinker (1/4oz per 8oz of color). Makes the color permanent.
