Reliable. . . but test before using
"I purchased the Mahogany and Show Brown as contrasting colors for a book cover restoration project (I had to replicate the original colors from a faded 17th century Bible cover). Both dyes applied well to light calfskin with very little excess to wipe off. However, both were significantly darker to the eye than the swatch color on the bottles. I'm glad that I tested the dye on a waste patch of leather before using. I had to experiment more than I was anticipating to get my colors right. It does the job, but it pays to test everything before using."
