Did you seal before antiquing?

No. After checking some you tube videos, I saw this type of antique dye (not the paste) used as a color/antique at the same time. Should I seal the original dye THEN antique?

I think it looks awsome, kind of an old world look. I use the Angelus spirit antique which works well as long as you use alot, that way it doesnt dry on the project. On the holster I did for a Single Six I antiqued the holster and had the same problem, it darkened the entire thing. So I took a chance and used a soft cloth with some dye reducer on it and wiped the holster from top to bottom, believe it or not it took the antique off of all the raised areas and left it in the tooling. The end result is in my gallery. just my 2ct.
