Thank you everyone for the advice. I don't think I shook the resist. Also I've watched videos where the person applied the resist over everything and in the cuts... And I've seen videos where the person is very careful to only hit the high spots. Is this just a difference in products being used? I tried to only hit the high spots but I failed in some spots. I would assume the resist should not be in the cuts...

Not helpful

Any advice would be great. I tried to upload pictures and they were all to large... Didn't have time to resize.

I tried my best to only apply to the high points. The color turned pale where the antique settled. The color is mahogany. I am at work and do not have a picture at this time. I will post laster.

I applied the resist to the entire piece. It wiped off nice and looks good otherwise. The tooling marks looked good initially but in the morning the color turned pale. I let the resist dry completely before applying the antique. What other information can I provide to help better understand? I rubbed in the antique in all directions and in a circular motion. After removing the antique I did not buff yet.

Fiebings resist and mahogany antique I've tried 3 times and each time the antique turns pale. What am I doing wrong?
