Members cmtul Posted January 23, 2023 Members Report Posted January 23, 2023 Hello everyone, I've ordered a bottle of rtc resist and finish, but in the mean time I have a small bottle of carnauba creme for finishing. Can this be used as a resist and use antiquing paste while I'm waiting for the rtc to arrive? Best regards, Chris Quote
Members Tugadude Posted January 23, 2023 Members Report Posted January 23, 2023 I wouldn’t count on it to function the way a resist does. Quote

Michael Sheldon Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 Yeah, I don't think I'd risk it on a real workpiece. OTOH, if you have time, try it on a test piece and let us know. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 23, 2023 CFM Report Posted January 23, 2023 you could always test it on some scrap. Quote
Members doubleh Posted January 23, 2023 Members Report Posted January 23, 2023 I agree with Chuck on this. Try it and find out. I learned quite a while ago that using a new technique or just making a change in one to do a scrap first to see just what happens. Quote
Doc Reaper Posted January 24, 2023 Report Posted January 24, 2023 I’ve done this and it’s like using antiquing paste on painted letters. The paste doesn’t really change the leather color because it’s protected (the pores are filled in). But if you use the liquid antique (eco flo) it will more than likely change it some if it’s not protected enough Quote
