Only One Spot On My Resist Didn't Resist

[Bob Blea]

What do you think about my streaking antiquing on the rest of the leather that does not have resist?

Can you do more than one coat of Antique gel? (I couldn't find anything on the internet about two coats).

If I were to get some on a spot I had just colored and then wiped it away, it actually removes that color that was there. So I'm nervous to try-thinking it won't work. Like only one shot. Tricky stuff! I'll do a test piece first but wanted to see your thoughts?!

It is definitely tricky stuff. I'm not sure what you are using but I use Tandy Eco-Flo antique and it can be very difficult to get a completely even coat on non-resisted leather. You could try applying a second coat but I've found it can take off some of what you have put down and the more you work it the harder it gets to be even. I have at times used a damp paper towel to wipe across the antique after applying it, but it doesn't look as 'antiqued' when I do that and it's not generally the look I'm trying for (if that makes any sense) so I don't do it often.
