Glad I clicked on this. I'll be getting some neutral antique. A tip for beginners that I came across, Saddle tan with a light coating of Mahogany antique makes a great Autumn leaf color for oak leaves. Use English Bridle for a little more of a red in the leaves.

This is the best video in my honest opinion. when you mentioned the neutral antique with paint in the 6 part bag making video series, I knew that is what I wanted to do with all of my projects. The first time I did it I definitely failed at applying it properly but the project still came out amazing. you then released another video that has you already having the antique and paint mixed and it kinda clicked for me what needed to be done, but actually seeing you do the mix right then and there it put all of the puzzle pieces together. Thank you so much for this video

I am in the middle of a project that involves metal and plastic that I now have decided to add a leather element to. I am already using a acrylic paint that is a particular shade of teal that would be hard for me to match using your paint. Is it possible to use normal acrylic paint with the neutral antique, using the technique you showed in the video?

Question. 4 years ago I made a belt that the customer wanted thin and tooled. 4-6 oz. Now she would like the imperfections in the area where the belt holes go into the buckle. I'm planning on deglazing and re-dying. The area where the holes are, are not like the rest of the belt due to use. The question, is there a way to maintain or repair this area? Thank you in advance.

Im a novice when it comes to dyeing leather. If I use a dark burgandy color on the base of my tooled belt leather, whats the best way to get black antiquing on the tooled area? I used resist after the burgandy but I still didnt get a good contrast with the black antiquing gel. Are my colors Im using just to dark to use with each other? TIA

First Chuck, let me start by saying I love your videos, I love the way you interact with your viewers, and I love your excitement and enthusiasm you put into your teaching. With that being said my question is how do we determine what would be a good match of die color to antique color? I know some would be personal preference but I would think that would come with experience. I know with whatever dye I use the antique is generally going to make my dye color darker. But for the new guy just getting started is there a basic rule of thumb like for this color go 2 steps maybe 3 steps darker with your antique? I don't know if you have addressed this before because I have not yet seen all your videos. So if you could answer my question or point me to the video that talks about this or maybe this would be a good video for you to make. Either way thank you very much for what you do I have learned a lot and I look forward to the many upcoming videos. Thank you very much. Sincerely yours, Steve

First off, thank you so much for your comments! They make my day! There’s no rule of thumb though (not too dark, not too light) maybe two steps, a Dark Brown three and a Black probably four. My personal favorite is a Light Brown Pro Dye with a Medium Brown antique. I may say start there. And you’re exactly right, personal preference. If pressed I may say a Light Brown will go one step down (not terribly noticeable), a Medium Brown (my favorite) - others you may never use, and, I’m betting you’ll like the outcome. If you want to go darker then you can spend the money there and feel pretty comfortable that it’s a good buy. Once you get a feel for using these then you’ll start to fine tune the dye and antique combination.

My FAVORITE leather from Tandy “Pontedero Handstained Veg Tan” stopped using oil based dyes and I can tell! It’s just dull and awful. I’ve been frantically trying to find a finish to make it similar to the oil dye but I can’t figure it out. My question, how could someone attempt to get the oil dye look with a water base dye? I was thinking, after sheen, resoline, etc. what about neatsfoot oil? Since it’s “oil?” Maybe it could give it that deeper, richer color, with a kind of finished look.

Hey Chuck, off topic here but I've got some wallnut pro dye for leather gloves, in your opinion what would be my best method to dye them, I was thinking dip but I'm worried that might be streaky
@WeaverLeatherSupply
@WeaverLeatherSupply 2 жыл бұрын
Hello! We recommend using whatever method you are most comfortable with. Dip dye would be a great option for this project. But if you are worried about streaking with dip dye... I would say get a good amount of dye on a sponge or dauber but not dripping wet and then apply the dye pretty quickly getting as much coverage as you can, then come back with a second coat to fill in and maybe a third coat to finish it off. If this is done all at once (not waiting between coats) then it should wick across consistently and look pretty good.

The paint in the neutral antique opens up so many windows. I will say that when i add antique to anything, i ALWAYS put a resist down over the stain first. Then i know for a fact the only thing darkening will be the crooks and nannies. And of course top coat over the whole thing to fix it in place. Also new drinking game, every time Chuck says "All told" lmao

Just curious if anyone has tried using the Neutral Antique Paste with Acrylic Paint mixed in it for the first layer and then the Antique Medium Brown Paste as a second layer? Or maybe switch the two around? I'm asking because I'm just getting into Leathercraft and I'm trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. I'm thinking about just taking a piece of leather and attempting different techniques and writing down the steps taken but there're so many combinations one can go (everyone has a different technique and some use resists while others don't. Some say that they use the antique paste and say stay away from the antique gel. It's definitely a bit confusing to some degree. Anyway, I really appreciate any advice anyone can give. Thank You All for Your Time and Help!! Sincerely, J Q
@WeaverLeatherSupply
@WeaverLeatherSupply Жыл бұрын
We haven't tried this but it sounds like a cool technique. We're guessing whichever color you add on the second layer will likely take over but it's worth experimenting. As far as antique finish and antique gel, the gel is a little more like a dye in that it won't wipe off quite as well as the paste. We hate to say it but personal preference plays a big part in leathercrafting and the final look you are going for. If you don't want the antique to color your leather very much, then definitely use a resist first. Hope that helps and we hope you enjoy leathercrafting!
