Sticky - stop me if you've heard this one before

Cheers for turps tip, I have a follow up query that I haven't come across previously. Over the last three days, the stain has noticeably faded in colour and intensity, especially on the top. The body has been sitting on my kitchen table with some diffused sunlight coming in in the morning. Anyone come across this? I am going to take the finish off the top "face" of the body and paint it, with some truoil on the neck and back etc, so I'm curious at this point more than looking for a solution. I did take it out on the front porch on a sunny but cool day last week and I'm wondering if that's a factor?

Do you have any base stain or intensifier left over?

Probably best to give it a very, very light intensifier coat once you have done the wet sand to remove failed top coat. Leave that to cure for about a week to 10 days before starting the TO coats. The additional intensifier coat should restore some zing before you seal it off.

yes, I do have a little of both. I'll take the top coat off tomorrow and make the call on whether to re apply the dt stain and intensifier again. I did really like the result of those so if there's a chance to rescue that look I will. Thanks for the responses
