I’ve been doing leather for about 5 years off and on, still a intermediate beginner, I have enjoyed and learned so much from you it ‘s unquestionable. If you had classes I’d be first to apply! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and artistic abilities. Please don’t stop! Forever grateful

Great information!! Keep those videos coming!!! Thank you!

Nobody at my local shop told me to seal before antiquing, resulting in some ruined projects, luckily they were small, and a lot of frustration. Thanks for the enlightenment, you folks at Weaver are amazing!

Thank you for the great video 🌵

I literally just bought some antique today LOL! Glad I saw this before I started...

I use Angelus acrylic finish, then Angelus antique followed by another coat or two of the acrylic finish. I have been experimenting with the Angelus neutral antique mixed with acrylic paint and have been very pleased. The first layer of finish really needs to dry thoroughly. For me that is the main thing. I then wipe off the antique immediately.

Daniel, I just did my first antique job on a project and it totally did not do what I wanted after watching this I know why and how to fix it. Thank you so much!

Another great video Daniel. I have great results with these exact steps BUT only if I am patient enough to let them dry,Patience is the key to a great finish.

That map is just awesome!!!😸

Thank you for this!

Thank you!💙

Very good video. Thank you

Much needed video

I would like to add is that the depth of your tooling will make a big difference. Regardless of the type of antique you choose.

Always appreciate your instruction and guidelines. Enjoy the learning my man. Keep the, coming. Question about sealer though. Not much research from me but is there a matte sealant as I a, it a fan of the gloss Resolene finish?

Been having issues with the antique paste flaking back out of the grooves once the the leather starts being used/flexed. What makes this happen and how can I help prevent it?

Thank you for this . I didnt know you needed to seal it first then antique on a piece thats not painted at all. No wonder the dye comes off when i put it on. Very helpfull,

not the same energy as chuck but your videos are just as fun to watch. And id be doing a disservice if i didnt mention that your videos so far feature a tad bit more info.

I feel you have answered all of the Hidden fears of antiquing projects. 😅

Can you airbrush the sealer?

Daniel, I did my first Tooling Project and then decided to use antique black to give my project depth. I first covered the leather with Pure Neatsfoot Oil to seal my project. After it dried, I only had British Tan; Light Tan; Black and Neutral Antiques. I thought if I used the Tans I wouldn’t get the depth I wanted. I decided to use the Black Antique from Weaver. I added the Black Antique and let it dry for thirty minutes then took an old towel and buffed the project to remove what I could of the Black Antique. In hindsight, I should have left the project bare. The project is very dark. Is there anything I can do at this late stage to remove the Black Antique or put a lighter Antique over what’s there? Best regards, Richard

Just a comment to keep the algorithm going. I really appreciate your tips and tricks. 👍🏻

HOW LONG DO YOU LET THE TAN KOTE DRY BEFORE ANTIQUING THE PROJECT

Is it possible to airbrush resolene?

That turquoise gel antique, is it available product or selfmade?

I don't have tan kote, can I use bees wax?

Good info, but a lot of us would rather see Chuck presenting this, not random people we have not heard of. You've built a very loyal fan base here around your best instructor and presenter.

The fact that this was recommended DIRECTLY after Chuck's video on antiquing is hilariously ironic. I want that lamp behind you there.

Can I send you my bark brown leather briefcase (my name laser engraved) for you to do my name in gold?

Where is CHUCK? Who are these random people doing Weaver Leather videos? CHUCK is Weaver Leather.
