My New Boots

[SeanTX]

I got mine today. I ordered a size ten. and I'm ussually ten wide and they fit pretty good. They are really euro size 43. I've seen scales run size 10 USA to mean 43-44.5 if that means anything to you.

Here I'm confident that I've done a thorough job.  You'll notice that there's some of the black dye on my rag but you'll also see that the boot still looks black.  Again, that's okay!  Once you've completed this initial step, wipe your boots with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess deglazer and let them dry a little bit before moving onto the painting step.  The Deglazer that I'm using is alcohol based so it actually dries really fast!

 

 

How do you know when it's ready? When the color stops coming off onto the rag? How long did you rub? I'm using acetone on Bass Amsterdams and I've definitely taken a layer or two off - wondering how far I need to go before I can paint...

 

Thanks!
