The Heron Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have bought a second hand leather gun case it is in fairly good condition except it has a mark where a sticker has been and this area is lighter than the rest of the case does anybody know how to match this area to the rest of the case.

saddler Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 how bad is it & where is the mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heron Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 It is about 25mm x 12mm and on the side so it is visible all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzicat Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Maybe try de/greasing & use a matching shade of shoe polish? you can also get coloured wax crayons from boot repair specialists it used to be called "heel ball" Edited April 3, 2016 by guzzicat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 IF you can add an image, or PM me one, I can let you know what shade of dye you will need. May be able to sort some out for you as I have a few shades of brown & buy them by the litre. It'd be an easy fix... dampen the light are with water & allow to soak in while still damp apply a thin layer of dye allow to dry Repeat until the light patch is not as obvious Have done similar dye/patching jobs a few tmes & you can normally get a quite good result with not a lot of effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
