Members Eaglestroker Posted June 24, 2012 Author Members Report Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Gorgeous! That is beautiful. So you applied a black antique over the top of the mahogany color? Sorry...didnt follow where the black antique was applied. I see the black edges Matt, it's fiebings professional lt brown, cut with alcohol. 50/50 give or take 5-25% Do everything as normal. When ready for final finish, apply light coat of something as a resist (people argue about what, I use the same thing I use as a finish). Wipe on the black antique, don't let it sit for long or it will bleed through your resist, and wipe it off. Reapply as need it will be obvious what needs touching up if you have tooled it. When all this is done LEAVE IT ALONE, I do this last thing so it will sit at least 8 hours before I touch it again. If you rush the final finish the antique will rub up and onto your brush if you don't apply by airbrush, I use a sponge brush with the finish cut very thin. May be right, may be wrong, but whatever it is it works for me. I attached a picture of the belt where you can see a 'line' where the antique is and isn't applied. I also attached one in mahogany done the same way, but with what I call a 'lick' of black all the way to the stitching. I don't care for mahogany as I find the color overbearing, some folks do though. -Robert Edited June 24, 2012 by Eaglestroker Quote
