Sven WillIBeFamous Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Sorry if this has been asked before... Last night I tried to use 2 different dyes on the same piece I was working on. By that I mean I wanted the background of my piece to be black and then the raised sections to be light brown. Due to my newness to all this I only have a bottle of USMC black and a bottle of Antique Leather stain. I put the antique stain on first and then when that has dried applied the black, but when I went to use the resolene to finish it, I noticed that the black was coming off showing the antique stain below it. Hints and tips appreciated please as I want to be able to use this technique a lot in future. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted May 26, 2015 what I usually do if I'm using multiple stains or dyes is do my darkest colors first, apply a blocker like super sheen to what I've already dyed, then apply the lighter over everything. The super sheen acts as a resist and prevents the lighter from coloring over the black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sven WillIBeFamous Report post Posted May 26, 2015 I have a bottle of super sheen I think. I'll give that a try on the next project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted May 26, 2015 try it on some scrap first. Make sure you let the dye dry good first. Then apply a coat of super sheen and let that dry at least 12 hours. You may also want to apply a second coat and let that dry as well before doing the antique stain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
