Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 2, 2023 Members Report Posted January 2, 2023 I've never liked the look I get with antique paste either. Even with several coats of resist (have tried both Tandy's and Resolene) the antique darkens the carving far too much. I haven't had a problem with it flaking off though, because I buff like crazy when applying, and after it's dry. So, JLS, I'm guessing you apply your resist to the carving, then dye the background with a fine brush? And I'm guessing the same goes for most people who get a really high contrast between their tooled areas and the background? Quote

I followed his tutorials as well, I feel like I've watched every available tutorial on YouTube about this.. No idea why my paste just rubs off immediately. I want it to look fresh at least a year or two, not only 1 hour Not really true, I do like em, I just want them to stay looking good for more than 2 hours of wear, especially for the price and the hype around their products i use both too don't get me wrong but not on belts that go through loops and flex all day long neither will wear well but they have their place for sure.
