NewForestLeather Report post Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone. This is my first post but I've been a long time lurker on this excellent site and my work has benefited greatly from the knowledge of others who have been generous enough to share their methods. Recently I have been experimenting with antique and I am struggling to accomplish a high contrast resist on my tooling. I have experimented with tan kote with limited success even waiting 24 hours for it to dry completely before applying antique. I have just got hold of some liquid latex which i have found to work much more effectively as a complete resist but my results are still lacking. I spotted the work of one of the talented members of this site several weeks ago and it's the exact look I'm trying to emulate. Any tips on how to create this look would be very much appreciated. I apologise for not being able to name the creator of this wallet. I went back through the showing off forum but could not find the original post. Many thanks from the UK. Edit: The wallet is made by fireexplorer. Tremendous work. Edited July 18, 2019 by NewForestLeather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted July 23, 2019 I normally dye a base color first in the areas I want dyed. Then I use Fiebings Pro-Resist to cover the entire piece. I know some use tan kote, never had it work for me so stopped. Then I wait 6 hours and give a light buff before applying my antique gel. Then I wrap a piece of paper towel arond a flat stick and use that to wipe off the excess. Allow that to dry then use an air brush to apply resolene or satin shene Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
