Cheers keep up the awesome work Shazz.
Thanks again, There is definitely a helpful bunch on here!Quote:

Cheers Stan! I'm stoked with it :) just gave her a wipe over to get rid of any residue and she looks even better! About to drop some pics :)Quote:

Shazz looking good. I think it's worth trying to smooth the blend line go for one more colour coat. Try and darken the black edge, then keep rubbing purple (in a circular motion) along the transition area and you should smooth it out. A good burst takes many many coats to get a really smooth transition. When the clear goes on the transition will be highlighted even more.
I know its easier said than done because some areas 'take' the stain better than others, but worth trying to blend the colours smoother.
What are you using a wipe on poly/tru oil for the clear coats ?
Hey wokka, I can't seem to get the black any darker :( it's a really thin dye. I've applied about 9 coats so far and the last 4 haven't done much. I don't want to do to much more and wreck what I've already got. It looks smoother in real life too hahaQuote:
