Can't get Colortone tint to dissolve in clear coat!

Hi, looking for advice. I have a Tele neck that has been stained and satin finished (one of those Chinese ones) but its too yellow. Looks like Daffy Duck's bill. I can't stain over it, and don't want to sand it off, so was planning to mix some Colortone dye, like the Vintage Amber, into a clear coat, and spray it a couple of times. However, the Colortone won't dissolve in wipe on poly (Feast & Watson) so I bought some acrylic and thinners from SuperCheap Auto (SCA brand), and tried dissolving the Colortone in the thinners. Still immiscible, so no joy either.

What would you suggest I try? Shellac flakes in metho? Once I get a decent colour, then I'll spray a hard poly over it, probably satin finish, for a better neck feel.

Any advice appreciated .. cheers.

How do I delete this duplicate thread!! :confused:
