Dean Your dad phoned and was going to email me the details but nothing arrived.
Changing colour on an aniline is a different process to a simple restoration and would need taking off site as the dye needs spraying rather than dyeing by hand.

Send it through and we will happily deal with it.

plus if you balls it up you have time to rectify it with out the embarassment

Judy, Dad said you did not have time to talk today and last time he sent details to LTT for a customer  job, he did not get any feed back and had to go to a lot of trouble to find out if the customer was services correctly.
Thats why he asked me to post it on this forum to see if he can get a definitive answer.

Judy why are you spraying now? I thought you said that applying by hand was the only way? I thought it was very good and easy.

I was busy on the phone when your dad phoned today so could not take his call personally and Andy was in London all say but we would have dealt with it if he had emailed the details through.  
The last one he sent we asked immediatley for photos to be sent by the customer so that we could assess the job and she never sent them so I do not understand where the problem is.

We will be happy to deal with this as it sounds like a specialist job.

Shaun
When you are trying to change the colour on an aniline it is a completely different technique to the noraml restoration and one which requires spraying of the aniline dye rather than applying by hand.  Pure aniline dyes are used rather then ones in a carrying agent which makes it a much more difficult process.
Cheers

Is it the same colour that you apply when spraying on or a sub darker one first then a darker one after that?

Thanks all, Dad has now past the job onto a Furniture Clinic trained technition in the area that contacted him yesterday.

[LTT Leathercare]

Do they have the correct products for doing this work?

[Dean Moss]

Judy, if they didnt, then the job would not have been given.
Once again thanks all for your time.

[Ricky M]

 Im sure a Furniture Clinic franchisee can accommodate this.

Ya Know it wont be long before Ben is running his own school with the ammount of FC frans poping up all over the country .

Ben has already run his own schools - I did a 2 day with Paul Moss and Andy Locke in 2007.

It was a very practical hands on course.
Only 3 of us plus Ben.
If there had been 1 more there would have been another instructor (we were told) - so we got personal attention.

We each had a small cushion made of leather which we scratched, cut, cig burned, cut, biroed etc to simulate customers stuff.
Mended them all and then sprayed.
