When a pad is leather faced properly is the cut edge dyed, or in any other way treated so the inner color of the leather is not showing, or does the dye completely penetrate the leather when it is that thin?

Thanks Larry. It has been a long time since I had his proper spelling on hand. I last talked to his widow about buying some of his remaining stock on hand. He and she were very private people and Phil did not want anyone to know he had an illness that robbed him of his abilities. I just called him by name when I dealt with him over the phone. No problem. I owned an Italian sxs he imported.

When thin leather is colored with a dye, the color usually penetrates all the way through. On leather that is thicker in nature, such a a belt, the edges will be colored as a separate step. The tanning method of the leather has a lot to do with how a dye will penetrate as well. Vegetable tanning is the most common method sold today. However the older method of tannning
(using salt, animal parts, and other natural ingredients) may be found in small batches from a custom leather tanning supplier. The EPA made it clear the toxic nature of that method was to be greatly regulated inside the USA.
