Default Smutty

A ? for all that has input on this. I am getting a lot of parts That come out of the dye beautiful but after sealed and dried they have a smutty, grayish cast to them. I am using low temp sealer. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

do you use distilled water for all of your steps? I've found that the high calcium content in my water will cause a dull finish, especially if I use it for sealing. (however, I only use boiling water to seal.)
