Using Fiebing Antique Paste

[terrymac]

I guess I do it a little different as I used wool pads to get the paste off. I do not want any in the tool marks and cuts. The paste has done its job and they are high lighted. If you leave any, you will normally get that "mud puddle" effect. Wool pads are the only means I have found to get all of the paste, rags will not do it. Watch Keith Valley's video on antiquing and you will see what I mean. This only applies to Fiebings paste. Ecoflo is a different monster and I do not know any thing about it.

I guess this is the point i am trying to make, if you rub until it's all out of the tool marks and cuts and any impressions let's say a basket weave stamp has caused then what's the effect?

Thx

In Keith's video, when he gets to the 'removal' segment, he's removing excess. There's still a tiny bit left in the nooks and crannies...which is what makes the effect.
