I would suggest trying a few bursts on test pieces of wood. As Simon said, wetter dye makes it easier to blend, and you'll pick up the knack of blending with a few trials. My 2c.

either way mate the magenta and black will rock
Got back into working on the SG today... finally!
Started by mixing my inks, started with 3x parts magenta for 1 part violet but found it too dark on my sample, so added about another part of magenta:

And I got into it:

No burst at this point... I am thinking I'll either try to add on top by wiping a diluted darker mix, or I'll see if my Preval spray still works and I might try and spray a dark burst around the edges...
Sounds like something I'll gave to test on scrape wood first!
Nice colour Fred looks good
Very nice indeed! I love the headstock shape, very cool done!
Great colour
Ah, purple! I know Stan and I approve after our purple GOTM exercise in January - looking good Fred!
Absolutely , this purple axe is highly approved, nice look. That headstock shape really suits the SG, great job
Cheers guys!
Pretty happy with the colour so far, took a photo in the sun where it looks more magenta:

Now debating whether I should add a black burst, a dark violet burst, or no burst...
Might sit on that for a week to see...
