Use paper towel and rubbing alcohol to thoroughly clean deerskin gloves. Use paper towels to dampen the gloves with water, they will turn brown from yellow in my case, do not saturate to the point of water runs out of them. This will open the pours to get dye to go deeper.
Step 2..

Shake dye and use as directed on bottle. Let dry one hour between applications.

After second application.
