Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted March 5, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted March 5, 2015 Hello novaroper, I'm going to assume that you want to antique the piece you have now that it's tooled. You are going to need a product called a resist, either an acrylic (like Resolene or Super Shene) or a lacquer (like Clear Lac or Wyosheen) to cover the areas you don't want to have antique on. Let that coat dry overnight, then test it with a damp sponge. If the leather discolors you need a second coat, and for the acrylics you often need multiple coats. Once that is applied, you can use your antique. The resist will keep the leather in the areas it covers looking more natural though I've found I will still get some slight darkening with the Eco Flo antiques. I don't have experience yet with Fiebings antique paste. Hope this helps, Bob Quote
