Fiebing's Leather Deglazer (4 Fl Oz, Clear) - Leathercraft Preparer for Paint, Adhesion, Dye - Will Not Impair Leather Flexibility - Clean Wax, Finish, Grease on Boots, Shoes, Jacket, Purse, Furniture

Worked great!

Works well. Keep in mind, you can never get all the previous dye out of shoes if you are trying to re-dye them. Ii can take 4 or 5 coats / sometimes two bottles, depending if you are dying darker or lighter.

Used this to strip a 25+ year old leather sofa. I only bought one bottle because I honestly though there would be very little glaze left on the sofa, after two and a half decades of kids and small dogs scrabbling to climb up. Boy was I surprised. I could easily have used two or three bottles. BTW, I used clean microfiber clothes, so I wouldn't leave lint behind. You can buy packs of about 25 via amazon for well under $20, and they are ideal for this project. WARNING: This stuff smells so awful, you will be scrambling to open windows, doors, even considering punching holes in walls to catch your breath. I honestly worried we might lose a bird or a cat to the odor. Think of the foulest chemical odor you can possibly imagine. This is unimaginably worse. Use rubber gloves with this stuff. If it smells this bad and strips leather this well, heaven only knows what it will do to your skin, which is, basically, untanned leather itself. However, that said, it did a fabulous job stripping the sofa and prepping it for the dye job to come. I now have a sofa that looks brand spank new, so new that my neighbor has booked my for next spring, when we can use the deglazed OUTDOORS and do hers as well. I will put before and after photos over on the Fiebings dye review I do next. Just click my ID if you want to see the other review.

Fiebings is my go to for leather preparation, and dying

not sure if I did something wrong, but it came out darker then I wanted to

Needed to dye some already finished leather so purchased the deglazer to remove the coating layer. Worked well. Be sure to buy daubers to apply. I thought it came with one and it did not.

Use this before trying to dye your project

Very good but use with ventilation

Très bon produit

Buen producto

Very strong smell when using it. I use it on my leather outside because of the smell. It does what is supposed to do. I use this before I dye my leather

Amazing! Removed glitter paint from boots that nothing else would touch! Totally saved these boots. I was worried about the smell after reading other reviews but worked with open windows and it wasn’t any worse than regular nail polish remover. I did try nail polish remover before purchasing this and it did nothing! I highly recommend this! Very very impressed! Worked a true miracle!

J’ai eu un très bon résultat mais faire attention, si vous en laisser trop au même endroit, peut abimer le cuir. Je conseil une petite quantité sur un chiffon et repasser.
