Last night I applied a coat of Resolene (the 1st time I have used this stuff) with a wool dauber (following directions on the bottle) to a black holster. This morning the holster looks all blotchy. I normally use Atom Wax and nothing like this has ever happened. I used a piece of sheeps wool on it & nothing.

What have I done wrong & can the Resolene be removed without removing the dye? If not I'm afraid the holster is ruined.

Thanks for any help.....

Apply some resolen to a scrap piece and try remov it with denaured alcohol if you have that. I have removed their acrylic leather sheen successfully with den. alcohol but NOT from whole pieces, just details of tooling.

I've come to really like resoline as a finish, but I've only been able to get it right if I apply it with an airbrush. I've tried sheeps wool, dauber, sponges, etc.

I'm sure it's just "operator error" on my part, but that's what I would advise :cheers: . ymmv.

Best Regards,

I use resoline in a 50/50 h2o dip. As already stated Air brushing works good too. Instead of removing the finish you could just apply another coat or two and see if it will even out.
