DESCRIPTION: A water-borne penetrating dye for coloring aniline & semi-aniline King Ranch leather.
FEATURES: Easy to apply. Original look & feel.
PREP CLEANING:
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.
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.
After the third cleaning and the water still beads up with no dark circle, lightly sand the leather with #600 sandpaper. This will help to break the surface coating and allow penetration (always sand when using color #SAC-707). Clean again with #TC - triclean prep cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel.
APPLICATION: Aniline leather finish (unprotected).
Colors: AN-708, AN-709, AN-710
1) Check color match. Mix 3% crosslinker (#SL-7) into the aniline dye color (helps to set the dye, **ALWAYS ADD**).
2) Apply a light coat of the 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 #AN - aniline clear mixed with 2% crosslinker (#SL-7).

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

1) Check color match. Mix 2% crosslinker (#SL-7) 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.
