I had a jar of resolene that I had used to finish many black projects.  I used it on a white project and it looked like some of the black from my previous projects had pulled up and muddied the resolene slightly.  It gave my white project with a minor black antiqued look.  Has anybody ever added a small amount of paint to resolene to achieve this look?

No I didn't . . . but I learned early on that I needed two containers of Resolene.  One for browns and one for the black.  

The brush I used on the black would pick up some of the loose pigment and drop it off in the resolene jar.  

Not really a super big deal . . .  but I didn't need any extra color in my brown products.

May God bless,

I've not tried it for 'antiquing' but I keep several bottles of thinned tinted resolene

After putting resolene on some items I noticed there was some dye colour carried over so I made up bottles of thinned resolene with some dye added. I have; red, green, blue, purple, tan, medium brown, as well as Fiebings own black resolene

Why not just pour some resolene in a separate container instead of dipping out of the bottle, this way you don't contaminate your unused resolene?
