Discdog15 Report post Posted December 11, 2015 I've been working with leather off and on for 30 years. I have never had this problem before. I carve out my design, then I stain it. When I go to paint with the acrylics the stain bleeds through the paint coming to the surface changing the color I want. Can anyone help me? No matter what I have done it continues to come through the paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaymack Report post Posted December 11, 2015 After the stain dries overnight, I seal it with 2 coats of Resolene and let it dry overnight before I paint with acrylics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erystawi Report post Posted December 11, 2015 I often do the acrylic paint before the stain, covering the acrylic with a resistant so it does not absorbe the stain or antique. Maybe experiment with have a resistant over stain before painting areas? Eva Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
