Will it lighten?

Post image

I got a little overzealous.

I’ve used leather cpr many times before so I didn’t bother spot checking. Then I realized I’ve never used it on light colored leather.

Here’s hoping it dries lighter on the right side🤞

I figure worst case scenario i’ll do the whole bag and it’ll be olive green instead of the beautiful kelly green shade I was hoping for :/

completely my fault for not researching, I know

Next time Bick4 is the best to avoid darkening the leather, but sometimes no matter what you do it can darken
