That time I tried to rush a leather dye job and it went purple
I was working on a custom order last Tuesday and decided to skip the usual test patch on scrap leather (you know, to save maybe 20 minutes). I mixed my usual brown dye, but the bottle was almost empty and I think some old purple residue was stuck in the cap. The whole cover came out this weird, streaky plum color. Had to completely strip it and start over, which took the rest of the week. Anyone have a good method for cleaning dye bottles between colors to stop this from happening?

Guess you learned the hard way that "saving time" usually costs double! At least it's a unique plum color now.
