Help, Block Out Resist

[DoubleC]

I'm working on the eye I sold, and the owners horse was a buckskin with one blue eye. I'm doing the blue eye eye for her, and I painted it first, and now have put a coat of eco flo block out resist. How many coats does this take? it had no instructions on the side like most of their stuff does. And of course I want this one to be as perfect as possible.

One coat and let dry for a few hours at least or two coats if you require lots of resistance.

Thanks Kevin, I'll put on another thin coat and put it up for a while. I'm going to going around the iris , with a lot of tan, brown and black so I really want it to resist. Plus I want this one to look good, no great. Cheryl

Just in case: beware dyeing over blockout (and actually over most of acrylic finishes) - most likely dye will go through a resist. Use stains instead of dyes.

I agree... turns out the most disastrous results.

Hi Suicide. I don't want to dye over my acrylic, the resist is just in case of an 'oooops.' LOL

Just oooops protection, not to dye over anything, LOL.

This is what it looks like with gel antique in saddle tan.

Don't forget to wipe the dye off the resisted area.

That's really pretty Kevin, and yes I will be wiping it off super quick. Cheryl

I have found that the eco flo products do a much better job if you let them completely dry (24 hours).

Thanks Radar. I'll do that the next time. Fortunately I didn't have any 'oooops' with the project. Cheryl
