I'm working on a wallet at the moment. I have parts Super sheened as a resist/block. I have also used the Eco-Flo Cova Color on some parts. I now want to stain and antique. I have the Fiebings Hi-Liter brown. Although I'm a huge fan of the Antiquing gel, I'm venturing out to try new things. With everything I have read, it appears the Hi-Liter is a liquid form of the antique gel. Pretty much the same affect. What my question is, is how does the Hi-Liter affect the Cova Color?

I have decided that while I am sitting here, I will test it and leave result information here:

Hi-Liter, like many of you have already said, leaves a smooth more refined look compared to that the Medium Brown Antique Gel leaves. The Hi-Liter is lighter in color but looks like coffee with creamer in it. Very nice. It left a very slight color change on the Cova Color (white) with with Super Sheen and not much more without. I globbed it on with a dauber and scrubbed it in very very carelessly too. I wanted to maximize the effect. I did the same thing with the Antique Gel and it did what it does. It destroys everything with aged beauty. So, for the wallet, I chose the Antique. Don't kick my ass too much on this one. It's my first real attempt at Sheridan style tooling and I had to incorporate my style. I hope you guys like it. Thanks in advance.
