Hey all! Question on antiquing. Is it counter productive to get resist down into all the cuts and background areas? in my brief experience with working leather after coating the project with resist and letting it dry, I have found that after paste application (making sure to get down into "all the nooks and crannies" of the tooling, when removing the initial coat much of the paste is pulling out of the nooks and crannies. Especially some of the not so deep indentations. Would it be better NOT to get resist down into the areas you are intending to antique?
Wouldn't the antique paste "set" better in those areas not so well resisted?
In other words.. Just giving a thorough skim coat over the raised highlight areas and not all the way down into the cuts and valleys of the tooling so as not to have the antique "pull out" when removing the access? I hope this question has not been posted before. Thanks tom, Queens N.Y.
