Windom Leather Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
