Description
Angelus Black Dye – Special 507
Give suitable smooth leather a rich black colour with Angelus Special 507 Black Leather Dye. This 88.72ml bottle contains an alcohol-based, penetrating dye for colouring new leather projects or refreshing existing leather items. A wool dauber is included for application.
Unlike a surface paint, leather dye colours by penetrating the leather. This makes it a practical choice for projects where you want to retain the leather’s natural surface character while changing its colour. Use it for suitable leather shoes, belts, bags, wallets, straps and leathercraft accessories.
Whether you are making a black leather belt or recolouring a worn accessory, preparation matters. The leather’s original colour, condition and existing finish can affect absorption and the final result. Always test on a scrap piece or an inconspicuous area before treating the whole item.

Applications
Use Angelus Black Dye for colouring suitable smooth leather belts, shoes, bags, purses, wallets, knife sheaths and straps. It also suits leathercraft projects where a penetrating black colour is preferred.
Check suitability carefully before applying it to an existing item. Surface coatings can prevent dye from absorbing evenly, and stitching or other absorbent components may also take up colour.
Application Guidance
Prepare the leather according to the manufacturer’s directions. Protect your work surface and test the dye first to check absorption and colour.
Apply carefully using the supplied wool dauber or another suitable applicator. Follow the bottle instructions for application, drying and finishing. Allow the leather to dry thoroughly before handling or assessing whether further colour is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this leather dye or leather paint?
This is a penetrating leather dye. Leather paint forms a surface coating, while dye colours suitable leather through absorption.
Does it include an applicator?
Yes. This 88.72ml bottle comes with a wool dauber.
Can I use it on any leather?
It is intended for suitable smooth leather. Existing finishes can affect absorption, so always test first. For suede or nubuck, choose a product specifically intended for those surfaces.
Will every item achieve the same black colour?
Results can vary with the leather’s original colour, surface finish and condition. A test application helps you assess the result before proceeding.
