Resist With Resolene?

*bump* -
I'm snowed in here in Minnesota and would really like to antique my saddle tomorrow. I do not want to change the color of the leather. It came from the saddlemaker this way (unfinished). I was intending to use Resolene for my resist. It is what I've got here in the house. I am using Fiebings antique finish. Does that sound do-able? Shall I use the Resolene full-strength, or cut it with water? I like the finish Resolene gives - I do not find it too shiny for my tastes. So I do not need to dilute it for a more matte finish that some other folks have sought. Will I need 2 coats of the Resolene as a resist? I've enjoyed reading the archives and found some good info, but didn't see this question directed. Thanks for your advice, Jean
