How to cover up scratches on a belt?

[Cameramonkey]

I have the fix.

Step 1: Get a Sharpie marker.
Step 2: put on pants.
Step 3: Put on belt with horrid scratch.
Step 4: Take Sharpie and hold the tip against your pants on the opposite side of the body away from the scratches for 1 minute.

Now everyone will be staring at the ink stain, and wont even notice the scratches.

You're welcome.

Steam from a damp rag and an iron should bring the scratch closer to flush. The steam will discolor the area so it would need to be refinished, again. This is an educated guess.

I think I'll just hire <insert unattractive INGO member's name here> to always stand to my left.

OH SNAP!!!

FYI my distractive pink 'stache is only effective on low relative humidity days. Just a heads-up...

I would suggest try any experimental procedures(steam of dye) on the inside of the belt. If feeling ballsy you could reproduce the scratch on the inside to give a test area.

...I would try putting mink oil(on the whole belt maybe) on just the scratch as it'll help with it, but it does change color where it's applied and darkens greatly. .

You spelled vitamink wrong, but I like where your head is at!

Keister it.

Instead of the radio, why not keister the belt? Depending on the shade of belt and the type of cheeseburgers and donuts BBI had yesterday, it could come out in a matching color!

......no.

Do the dots mean that you had to think about it?

Not what I heard.

Probably 90% of the posts here that don't involve Rhino cutting himself can be resolved via Google or Armslist

There's a post where Rhino hasn't cut himself?

Chick's might dig them, but shift commanders tend not to.

He's trying to cover the belt scratches so his wife don't see. The ladies love detectives.

Once leather has been dyed a sealant is usually used and you won't be able to re-dye it. You can use shoe polish as stated on effected area then treat the entire area with neat foot oil or a conditioner with beeswax in it for a uniform color. Tandy Leather or Landwerlin Leather in Indianapolis is a good source for leather, supplies, and advise.

Not sure it would fix your problem or not. I find it handy to keep a few brown Sharpies around for various small dieing projects. Most recent project was to "brown out" the camo on some otherwise cool Merrell shoes.

I have a quick fix that's easy to do and it won't cost you a thing.
When you're done, absolutely nobody will be looking at your belt.
