jrny4wrd Report post Posted December 28, 2018 Is it best to antique before I filigree, or after? I been making filigree wallets and the usually antique after I cut. I figured it would help the sides of the cut leather however, it sure makes a mess on the backside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ragingstallion Report post Posted December 28, 2018 put down some newspaper or cardboard before you antique, but I would still do it before. laying down something underneath, and if you use some double sided tape or something to help hold it in place, will help keep the backside a little cleaner.

Thank you. I used to put tape behind it and one day just forgot about it. Not a clue why. Maybe glue fuems are eating my brain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
