TwinOaks Report post Posted November 22, 2011 First off, you don't have to yell...:D A resist is a finishing step that prevents a dye/stain from being absorbed by the leather. The short answer is yes, you can use a resist with Eco-flo dyes. You simply apply something that will not allow the passage of the dye base. With Eco-flo, it can be a little trickier because it's water based.....and so are most of all the Eco-flo finishes. Having a common solvent (water) means that the water in the dye is going to be trying to dissolve the resist. You might consider another dye or resist formula. A lacquer based resist would withstand the water based dye much better...if you have something like that in Oz. We have several members from Oz on this forum; perhaps they can chime in to let you know what they use and where to get it locally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
