Can You Remove Block Out Resist?

[Loretta]

my question is prompted by 2 different things:

1. When I was applyling blockout resist, I accidently used a brush that had some black dye on it, so the resist has some streaks in it.

2. If I want to dye several colors, can I use the resist on everything but the first color,dye that color, then remove the resist on a portion and dye that section?

try using liquid latex for that....i don't think block will work like what I think you are wanting...also to remove the block out try deglazier

Block Out actually is a liquid latex. I just went and tried your deglazer suggestion, and it does work. (The deglazer I use is acetone.)

[mikesmith648]

if it is liquid latex, it should just rub off or lift off

[JustKate]

That was the first thing I tried. The liquid latex I use is quite a bit thicker and stays more on the surface. But block out is very thinned down so the first coat absorbs into the leather quite a bit.
