LeTech
Leather Masking Fluid
Leather Masking Fluid
Professional water-based masking compound for protecting and preserving stitching during leather recolouring. Forms a thin film over the thread to prevent overspray and colour transfer — then peels off cleanly without residues when work is done.
What It Does
Leather Masking Fluid shields decorative and contrast stitching so you can spray or recolour adjacent leather panels with confidence and precision. The film adheres well and remains flexible, keeping the thread safe from dye mist and overspray. After painting, the mask rolls off with your fingers, leaving the thread’s original colour and texture intact.
Essential for projects with contrast stitching where crisp edges and clean separation define the final look.
Where It Works
- Automotive, aviation, marine interiors
- Furniture and upholstery
- Footwear, bags and leather accessories
- Craft & custom leather projects
Material focus: painted/finished leather and artificial leather seams and stitching.

Tips & Related Products
- Apply a slightly raised bead over the seam for easier, one-piece removal.
- If product touches leather beside the seam, pull it back to the thread with a plastic spatula before it sets.
- Keep a masking tape or pre-taped film at hand to protect large adjacent areas and speed up prep.
