- I've antiqued and colored in project videos before, but they are part of a much larger (longer) video. So here it is: broken down and simple. The down and dirty of applying antique to tooled leather.

I like your videos. Right to the point and no fillers.
Love your "Quick Tips".... keep 'em coming.
This just provers the facts. There are a lot of crafter out there looking for advice and good advice. Like myself! There has been times saying to my self ! Should I do that and possibly destroying my project or go for it. That’s why the videos are so important. Never to old to learn new ideas and what not too do. Also learning the different types of sealers to use , when to and when not, just clearing up our thoughts at your expense! 😁
One vet to another. You speak my language. Good videos, factual, to the point without a load of "aren't I funny" comments.
💯 thank you for showing this. I have all the stuff to do it except for the guts to actually try it. Now that you've shown how easy it can be I feel a lot more confident in trying it out.
I love Melings oak pattern! So, why no oil?
This year no one needs a hotbox, just put the stuff outside in the shade with a fan..poof!
Hi, how do I restore this kind of leather? I bought a thrifted belt, the back of the belt has small cracks and the sides were slightly worn out and faded. What products can I use?
I love watching you do your thing I hope I get to your level one day but to be honest tooling is not my strong point
If I waited overnight for everything to dry and I put say Saddle Tan Pro on the project, would the dye take or just come off because of the resist?
Dye will penetrate resist in a very ugly and blotchy way. Always dye before resist
Love your videos. Can you edit the misspelled title so it reads "Antiquing" so that more people will find it?
Thanks for the heads up! Taken care of!
What would happen if you didn’t use the pro resist?
The antique will color all of the leather. It would be very streaky and dull looking.
Thanks for your reply!
Hydrogen peroxide makes a patina very quickly, 5 seconds to 30 seconds depending on the color you are going for, a London tan color..baking soda powder and water will make a dark brown color, in less than 1 min..no need to buy some specialized products etc..
I'll experiment with this.
@@makersleathersupply1220 that's of course on veg tan leather and I do recommend a conditioner afterwards as oxidation patina techniques could dry out the leather etc..I've also heard about household bleach being used but never tried it..just get some scrap strips and give it a try..amounts applied and duration will give different shades of color..light to dark etc..
@@makersleathersupply1220 I'd be excited to see you experiment with this method. I have all the stuff to do it the way you demonstrated... but its always neat to have a couple tricks up your sleeve
