Excellent! Thanks...so you apply your acrylic paint with paint brushes...let it dry ...then apply your Acrylic Resolene with air brush? Is that correct? I have been bouncing around the idea of an air brush system.

Thanks...when you refer to heat setting...are you just going over lightly with warm hair dryer? Is this directly after painting? thanks again.

I did use a soft foam type brush...and tried to keep very thin coats. The areas that were dyed look great...and honestly the areas that are painted blue, red and silver were not effected either...but the white was. I don't have an airbrush...other than that do you have recommendations for spraying? Appreciate your response...thanks.

hi...new the forum and appreciate all the knowledge and wisdom! A topic that's been touched on a lot..BUT...I'm making a guitar strap. Tooled and dyed with black oil dye except areas I painted wilt Angelus Acrylic paints. I thought acrylic Resolene made sense to seal it all. I did a 50/50 mix with water. On the dyed areas I got the exact results I wanted. The painted areas not so much...actually sort of thinned my paint? So question or recommendation request. What do I seal the paint with? Something to protect and seal. There was mention of some sort of varnish? What about Angelus acrylic finishers? Would like something that can coat the paint and then I could use the Acrylic Resolene over all of it once it dries...any thoughts??? Thanks very much!
