AndyL1 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Hey all, Got this monster of a job finally done! Double compartments with a center divider panel. 5-6oz veg tan all around (side gussets I did in 4oz). Came out pretty amazing I think! Also, I dyed it with the new Tandy WaterStain in bordeaux. I have to say I was rather impressed with how this stuff went on and finished. So far no color rub off at all. Curious to see how it holds up with use. Does anyone else have some long-term feedback on the Waterstains? I finished with a nice coat of Resolene and some neatsfoot oil. I have more photos that I will post up soon. Got this done late last night. Cheers, Andy Quote
Members particle Posted July 23, 2012 Members Report Posted July 23, 2012 Looks awesome! The only waterstain I've tried is Red - color goes on nice and even, and like you, I've noticed very little rub off. What type of dye did you go back over it with for the antique effect? Dying to see photos of the interior... Quote
Members WScott Posted July 23, 2012 Members Report Posted July 23, 2012 Wow, looks solid and gorgeous Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted July 23, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted July 23, 2012 Spinner (Chris) did some testing of the pro water stains and posted the results. IIRC, he was using it for tank bibs on scooters. Quote

AndyL1 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks everybody! This one was a lot of fun to make. The two compartments was a challenge and it turned out well. For the antiquing i just did my usual sponge effect with a bit of Tandy's black all-in-one. I spread a little out on a paper plate fairly thin, pick up a bit in a damp sponge and pat the edges. I do it lightly and build up the color so it really has some depth in texture. Seal it and done! More pics later... Left my memory card at work. Darn it! Andy Quote
