Battery acid probably wont work - it's sulphuric acid, you want hydrochloric acid although hydrogen peroxide might work. Or sodium hypochlorite (like milton sterilizing solution) could be a gentle alternative.

Cool. Cheers for that.
Now, about your lab ? ...........................

[manus]

I've just found a bit of brown suede. I'll post the results later lol!

[mr.pure]

Dude, if you sort this problem out, it'd be minty fresh of you.

[manus]

Right, the only thing that has made any impact is Hydrochloric acid.

hopefully it'll look better when it's dry, but you can kinda see that there has been a bit of lightening of the suede in this bad pic...

Oven cleaner?

[mr.pure]

Fuckin' hell.
How technical are we getting now ?
Cheers for that Manus, I see what you're saying about getting an even finish.
My quest goes on !

Well I haven't given up yet, I'm thinking that maybe bleaching isn't the way to go, so I'm gonna see if I can dissolve the dye.
Buying a pair of blue suede boots and cutting them up might end up being easier. Leather work's pretty hard though.

Those are AMAZING!!!

[mr.pure]

Damn Manus. What exactly are you employed to do ?
You're starting to come across as some sort of evil professor !

[manus]

I work as a school science technician

[mr.pure]

Lucky sod.
There are a few things I'd love to get my hands on again.

[olstar]

School science techie eh..

Now, where's my jolly rogers/anarchists cookbook

[mr.pure]

I'd never even heard of the Jolly Rogers cookbook before now.
