When I apply antique I don't let it dry. It's more a case of applying it and then wiping it back off before it can dry. That leaves the antique only in the crevices of your tooling. That being said, even if someone did let it dry completely I can't see it peeling like this unless there was something on the leather preventing it from sticking to the leather. 12 hours ago, Mark842 said: That's what I was thinking. you stated you left the antique on for 25 minutes before wiping off. When I antique I put it on and then wipe it right back off. I've never left it on for more than maybe a minute. I'm betting that doing so allowed it to start to bond just enough to do what it did. Maybe that is the issue. I know I've seen a vid somewhere regarding leaving the paste for some time before wiping it off, but well maybe I mixed something and it was on oil tan leather not normal... One way or another, thank you all for the help. Quote
