How to resist spirit dyes.

[immiketoo]

If you've ever tried to resist dye with tan kote or supersheen or whatever, you probably had less than stellar results.   Using liquid frisket can do the job but there's a few things you need to know.

You are an astute observer!

Next step.  Fade applied and latex removed to reveal pristine leather underneath.

Looks like she peeled purdy good.  Still in teh works, more to come? (WHY does that 'h' stick like that ?@!)

Despite using this technique, I am still tickled when it works as anticipated.  Soooooo many failures have left me with a nervous tic.  Still have edges, holes and finish to apply and then its done.

Looking good!  That latex stuff does work great, but it feels soooooo damned weird when you peel it off.  It's like peeling skin after a sunburn. (I've seen your skin tone and you're living in the Mediterranean - I know you know what I mean!)

Dude..I don't leave the house between 11 and 4 without SPF 1 billion!  And you're right.  Its creepy.
