Carnauba creme

Recommended Posts

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

I wouldn’t count on it to function the way a resist does.

Thank you for the fast reply Tugadude.  I'll just take a break and wait for the rtc to arrive. 

 

Best regards, 

Chris

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. :lol:

you could always test it on some scrap.

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.

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
