Antiquing Only An Small Area Of A Piece

[Go2Tex]

I guess I read somethere on the forum about using latex glue as a resist. That latex can be applyed with brush and after everything done can be easily pilled off... Does somebody tried this?

Yes, I have tried masking with a similar product. I forget the name. Liquid mask. It works really well. Kinda spendy, though. Hobby Lobby has it. Again, it will leave a hard line that you need to deal with. It's like a rubber paint that you brush on. Not too practical for very large areas, like a fender when you just have a floral spot in one corner or something. If you have an intricate design that you are trying to mask off certain small areas, it will work but will be time consuming for a large project. Again, it leaves that very distinct hard line effect between masked and unmasked areas.

As I recall, it blocked out leather dye completely. Antique might be a problem if you rub it too much as you apply it. You could rub the mask off. I think it is mainly intended for airbrushing art work.
