Chocolate Antique

[AzShooter]

I'm making a holster for a revolver and I've carved in a rose and my initials.  I dyed  it with Chocolate die but want to bring out the highlights.  Is there a chocolate antiquing or what should I use?

Its been years since I've used a chocolate antique, or seen it anywhere. Look out for a mahogany antique.  No good to you there in AZ , but I get my mahogany antiques from Mac-Lace Leather Queensland , Australia  . Its a bit ' chocolaty  '  . 

You could also try experimenting by mixing a few other colours .

The 'mahogany' antique I have, Eco-Flo Gel, tends to be a bit reddish

got tan-kote?  mix a bit of tan-kote with a dollop of chocolate dye.

bit and dollop are generic terms for SOME, depending on the shade you want.

this is not "supposed to" work.. mixing a water based product with an alcohol based thing, but i'm telling you that it DOES very well (assuming you'll test on scrap to get the right shade anyway, so you'll then know it works)

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
