Dyes and waxes are usually tumbled with the hides in a large drum.

The word aniline is an industry term for transparent dyes that are used to color hides.

Pigment dye is a solid color dye that creates an even color throughout the hide. It is applied after the aniline process.

Sunlight is a natural bleaching agent. Any natural substance will be affected adversely by the sun. Heat draws the natural moisture out of the hide and can cause the skins to crack or become cloudy. The application of a leather conditioner can reduce these reactions.

The amount of moisture in the hide is the main reason for variance in color.

The hides are by-products of the cattle industry. Every part of the cow is utilized.

All spills should be attended to immediately. For light spills always use distilled water and a clean cloth. Wipe the spill in one direction.

When using a pen ink, allow the mark to dry then use distilled water and the cloth. A suede eraser can be used on a dry surface if the stain persists. Not all stains will come out.
