To colour Leather a Bright Red.
Dip your Leather first in Al∣lom water, and rub it well therein, then take stale Urin, boil it till it is half consumed, scum it well, and put to it an ounce of the best Lake, Rasped Brazil wood two ounces, and an ounce of Allom, add to these half an ounce of Sal Armoniack, stir them well-over a moderate fire two hours, pour off the Li∣quid part, and brush over your Skins with it, till it takes a good tincture, remembring e∣ver to let the Skins in all Co∣lours dry well, between each going over with your brush, and your expectation will be answered to a very considerable advantage.
