bison Report post Posted November 1, 2010 I posted this on the Dye forum earlier, but thought I'd give a general shout out to the experts out there to see if anyone has any thought so a possible fix. I need some help! I'm working on this for my son-in-law for a Christmas gift. I got the dye done and let it dry, applied two thin coats of Clear-lac, let it dry, then antiqued with eco-flow medium brown gel antique. I've never had trouble like this before. The only word I can think of is "splotchy". It looks like it dried, or soaked through the Clear-lac, or...? Is there any way to take it off? If not, what other suggestions do you all have? I'd hate to start over on this piece, but I will if that's the only way. I should say this leather has given me fits all along. It was hard to work and "fuzzed' on me in places. Anyway, I appreciate the help. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joquarter Report post Posted November 6, 2010 I'm not an expert , but if I mess up the dyeing, I take methalated spirit and a cotton pad , with a little bit of luck you get all the dye off . Before antique my leather , I use 2 ore 3 thin coats of super shene . I don't like to start again and gave it a try and for me it worked. Did the same to get of the wax and color off my 20 years old saddle in combination with L.O.C from amway to get all the dirth off 20 years using it off. The leather could soak , water again , so I could carve it , and painted it another colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
