Hi-liter or Antiquing ?

I've been drying overnight (8 hours). Sounds like longer maybe in order ... -

I'm on my fortieth coaster. Just getting the hang of tooling. To finish, I've been using Eco-Flo Range Tan as the dye, then sealing with Satin-Shene, then antiquing with Eco-flo Gel Antiquing, the sealing with Super shene again, and again, until I get close to the look I want. I bought the Fiebings hi-lighter as an alternative to the Gel, to see if changed the look ... it seems to work the same , but just not as thick and lighter look...all hand applied with sponge/sheepskin, which seems to pull up some of the previous layer, hence the "layer after layer" technique (maybe a spray Super shene would work better?) Thanks for the help!!! -
I have some Fiebings Hi-lighter and also some Eco-Flo Gel Antique. I'm confused! They seem to produce a similar effect (filling the carved parts with darker pigment) ... what is the difference if any? Thanks
