Broken Arm - Severe Sun Bleached Aniline

[Julian Rowe]

Nice to be able to use some newly acquired skills on this sorry looking aniline.
Kids using the arms as trampolines and the owner attempting to rectify the bleaching herself - not a happy suite!

 

[Lee Breen]

Ok, Ok Jules, you're just showing off now!


Seriously though, well done, top job as always.

Really pleased its working out for you mate.

 

[Julian Rowe]

Cheers mucker

 

[Lee Breen]

Did you do well out of it? I've heard your area is a wasteland for upholstery prices and maintenance.

 

[Paul Watchorn]

It's a jolly nice job Julian. Perhaps you might drop me a line. I do get enquiries for leather, even in this wasteland. Which I have no intention of doing myself, ever.

Preferred the 2 tone

How many fancy ar*ed flight cases do you own Rowe?? I can see 3 in the top pic alone!
Now if only I could do quality like that I would be happy

 

[Julian Rowe]

The skills of a good technician are not measured by the quality of his work but by the number of fancy flight cases he owns.
I've got 6 and a couple of those rolling Stanley tool chests as well.

 

[Dan Woodhead]

Good job as usual Jules. If you keep this up we may start to think you no what your doing

 

[Robert Bailey]

Never

It's interesting to see the differing effect of UV on different panels. Because animals are far more variable than man made textiles so hides also do not have completely identical properties. So even a set of hides treated with the same pigment batch will have differing performance characteristics.

Always a problem John and one that needs to be taken into consideration when choosing products to use and techniques for application. The results will always be affected by the rate of absorption of the dye and quite often we have to work with finishes or tinted finishes etc to even out the colour
Still one of the most lucrative jobs to do but one a lot of people shy away from
Aniline dyes are great to work with
