I use medical alcohol. It's cheap. A couple bucks a quart. Reuseable. Just pour it back in the bottle. Dries fairly rapidly but has little of the detrimental effects of water. Shouldn't disturb existing dye.

Worth thinking about.

How would you apply it??? Brush it on with a paintbrush, dunk the whole holster in a bucket of it, spray it on with a fabric softener spray bottle, what would you think best???
