    Default Post Hydration Darkened Vachetta

    Hi Roger,

    I bought the V3 Kit to repair my dry vachetta and need your advice on what to do next. I used the following system on the purse handles: VachettaPro-Acidifier-Hydrator-Fat Liquor-Hydrator. Since the handles were super dry, hydrator-fat liquor-hydrator process was repeated several times until the leather was full. I was able to hydrate the leather but it has darkened significantly; I'm attaching pictures of the treated vs. original handles for comparison. I tried bleaching the tips of the handles with Vachetta 2.8 and aggravating it with a brush several times but I cannot get it to its original color. It seems the leather just rolls off and I'm afraid to continue as it looks like the brush is sanding the leather. The kit I got was the one I had to mix, not the RTU. All bottles were filled according to instructions. My questions is-what can I do at this point to lighten the hydrated leather? Should I order another vachetta 2.8 and not mix it with water for stronger effect?

    Thank you
