Members Kustomizer Posted January 21, 2009 Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 OK, this is a dumb newb question, but I need to know what you do with the area's that you use resist on. I applied two coats of super sheen to my latest attempt and then dyed it, and was wondering if it stays on now or do I remove it before I condition the leather? Quote
Members Kustomizer Posted January 21, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 OK, maybe I asked the question wrong. The latest practice piece I'm doing has a Koi on it and I covered the Koi with two coats of super sheen. It resisted the dye process great, but I'm not a huge fan of the shiny non-leather look of Koi now and was wondering what my options are now? If there is nothing I can do with it but live with, is there a different product I should use when I need a resist that doesn't look shiny? Quote
Ambassador pete Posted January 22, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted January 22, 2009 bee natural makes a product that I think that you will love. Complete coverage, dries in minutes rather than overnight, and doesn't leave a shiny finish. Bee Natural RTC . pete Quote

electrathon Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I have been using RTC on a lot of my projects and I really like it (it you order some get a bottle of pro-carve at the same time). Do keep in mind there is a learning curve with it. It dries very fast. You slop it on and then spread it with a piece of sheepskin. Work fast(very fast). You have about 20 seconds to get it spread. Use too much, never try to skimp thinking you will add more. Keep smoothing it till it tacks up, then stop, you are done. Aaron Quote
