Members Windom Leather Posted June 4, 2010 Members Report Posted June 4, 2010 With the sculpted roses Im working on right now, I thought if I dip them instead of brushing I could get a better look. The roses are sculpted and dried to lock in the shape, so my question is if I dip them in dye will they loose their shape or will they stay locked in the shape I had them in? Anybody try dipping there work of any type and if so what was your experience with it? Is there any little tricks to watch for? Quote
