Trans Seafoam Green Mixol Color Test
After many attempts on this poor ash sample board (re-sanded many times), I got a result I like.
It looks really great despite what the picture shows, really green/blue at different angles.
My question to other finishers here, I used a mixture of Mixol #8 Green, #9 Blue and # 25 White mixed with Behlen's String Instrument Lacquer over grain fill stained, several coats of shellac and grain filler sanded to a smooth surface.
Once I committed to brushing it on, one foam brush wipe and The Angel's in Heaven went "AHHH!"
Then before it dried, I tried to correct some places, WRONG. (See lower portion of board).
So, if I brush it on with a foam brush, I believe the mixture tends to smear the Mixol in a beautiful way, but will I be able to continue without the overlap brush strokes ruining that one brushstroke beauty as the lacquer dries sooo quickly?
Would spraying it on get the same effect, I'm considering using some Reducer/retarder to slow the drying properties of the lacquer.
Any thoughts on this?
I know HOW to get the effect I want, now how to apply it correctly.
Once more, duplicate the process, try spraying, and see if I get positive results.
