Hi!
I've had a look for this but couldn't find it anywhere so hopefully I'm not doubling up. If I am, please direct me to the previous one.
I have been doing leatherwork for some time and am ok with staining ... until it comes to wanting different shades. Sometimes I can do it without any problems and other times it's a disaster. But I've come to the point where I don't want any more disasters and want to be able to get a piece done right the first time! What I have been told is to apply the clear leather sealer over the parts that I don't want stained, wait for that to dry and then apply the stainer over the whole lot. Apparently the stain won't stick to the part that's been sealed and I can wipe that off but it's not working for me. All that happens is that I end up with a mess! How long is it supposed to take for the sealer to dry and how do I wipe the stain off it without going onto the parts that I want the stain to stay on???
I'm not using paint, only stain.
Any suggestions/advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in anticipation!
The Happy Viking
