Hi All,

Looking to improve upon my last results for a pending shearling project. In this case, using Eco Flow's water base dye/paint on the flesh side of shearling. Initially, that hide naked to being and  as seen below 

Following the four (sprayed) applications of Dark Brown colored Eco Flo https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eco-Flo-Professional-Waterstain-Dark-Brown-250-ml-8-5-fl-oz-2800-02-Tandy-Dye/201358634693 I managed to color the hides sufficiently. Once dried all hides were sealed with Eco-Flo's satin finish. 

Problem being and what I am looking to improve upon is getting a smoother finish. Ultimately there are hit and miss porous areas that take up more more paint. Those same porous areas leave rough spots. I was wondering it there might be a good prep coat maybe even something that can be sanded to help eliminate those porous spots and achieve a smoother finish. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

Cheers, Dave
