Wet mold turns antique a gray color

[Jc911rsa]

After dying, pro resist,, antiquing my holsters, I find that the antique terns a grayish color when I wet mold the holsters. I can reapply the antique and it’s fine but what would be causing that and are there any solutions? Antique after wet mold? No finish was applied 

 

thanks

I've seen it get like a chalky dust form over it but not that the antique itself has gone gray. Try buffing it with a soft brush (shoe brushy type thing) and see if that helps. If that doesn't, I got nothing else really. Maybe someone else will come along and have THE solution.

I would antique after molding. I suspect what you are getting is something similar to the discolored rings on a table from coffee cups.
