Resolene wiping off dye

[Jason046]

Thanks. Yea it's really frustrating. The randomness of the splotches and area is what is weird. I tried prepping with alcohol before dieing also with the same result. Not sure what is going on but it comes right off as soon as I start to apply. How long do yall wait before applying?

Is there a way to clean these off before dieing or once they are on is that pretty much it

I don't think you ever answered the question of which Fiebings dye you are using.  Which is it?

[Mattsbagger]

If it's contact cement you can rub it off with your finger or an art gum eraser.

I would not use usmc unless you really like buffing. It is the bane of rub off from what I have read. I use the Pro/oil (which has no oil). With good results. Do a search on here on the USMC and you will see what I mean.

Thanks for the advice. What is the difference between the pro dye and those dyes. I have noticed it is a pain with all the buffing. So use the pro with the resolene. I have noticed the red and brown seem so much easier

I have seen a lot of posts about USMC black, none of it good. Also, try spraying the Resolene on, then there is no rubbing. After it dried you can buff it but as it's dry, it won't take off the dye.

USMC has WAY more pigment in it. More than ever needed.

I have tried to spray it but when I do it seems to be thick and have bubbles from the water.  Will this go away after it dries

The bubbles will pop but leave minute circular marks looking like tiny holes.
