    How did you do the color matching

  • @leatherhelpguy
    @leatherhelpguy20 күн бұрын

    The color matching is done by eye. Start with white, add drops of yellow, black and even a drop of red oxide. I’ve had 25 years of practice. But I’ll do a video here soon to give you a few of the key principles of color matching.
