CFM tsunkasapa Posted February 22, 2022 CFM Report Posted February 22, 2022 The antique won't color the leather if you used the resist. All it does is stay in the deeper impressions. If you want it to color the leather you need to apply it without the resist. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members WifesLeatherGuy Posted February 22, 2022 Author Members Report Posted February 22, 2022 I applied the resist to the entire piece. It wiped off nice and looks good otherwise. The tooling marks looked good initially but in the morning the color turned pale. I let the resist dry completely before applying the antique. What other information can I provide to help better understand? I rubbed in the antique in all directions and in a circular motion. After removing the antique I did not buff yet. Quote
Members WifesLeatherGuy Posted February 22, 2022 Author Members Report Posted February 22, 2022 I tried my best to only apply to the high points. The color turned pale where the antique settled. The color is mahogany. I am at work and do not have a picture at this time. I will post laster. Quote

My advice is dump the ant-streak, clean out the jar, and use it as a pencil cup on your desk. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Contributing Member fredk Posted February 24, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted February 24, 2022 Just a couple of thoughts; 1. are you really loading it on? not just a wee bit on a cloth and rubbing it on? 2. it sounds a bit like its soaking into the leather, so its density of colour is weakened. Perhaps another, really heavy coating, will improve it Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
