Good question AJ . I can't see it doing any harm as long you don't burn it. I'll give it a try on bit of wood tomorrow and get back to you on that one

AJ - check Robin's posts - from memory, he was saying you could do a couple of coats a day. Personally - I'm not in this for the short game, so if I have to wait 4-5 days for my BMW to cure, then so be it... Likewise with Tru Oil - if it takes 1-2 days for a coat to cure is that a bad thing?
agreed Brendan if you take your time each layer will cure and harden better than using less curing time.
I don't know enough about infra red light curing but sure it's fine - time will tell I spose.
I'd never apply more than 1 coat per 24 hour period with any type of stain/clear.
I only get short periods of time where I can be productive, I cant see a problem if it does the job in less time with the same high quality expected finishing standard
one more , I love this pic

I really like this one Jarrod, I've taken the liberty of sharing on our Facebook page.
Thanks Adam , I must say It's come out better than I had ever hoped.
i like that blue the more i look at it, great work
Fantastic result Jarrod, what a stunner!
And thanks for the hot tip on the clear coating technique and secret weapon Mequiars Scratch X20 - I went over my Les Paul as you suggested and am VERY happy with the result. (pic doesn't show it that well but it's pretty shiny) Thanks again

That's awesome Matt and I'm only too glad to help mate. Man that color is dam awesome , so glad it worked out for ya . If you read my latest post in my STA-1m diary I explain how to get a rock pool effect with your grains and clear coats.
I'm refinishing an old Alder wood Mia Strat and after seeing how nice that Tone Blue worked out for you I want to try and follow your technique and see if I can get similar results.
Jarrod Could you tell me how you mixed and applied that tone blue stain ?
Aha, that's what a really nicely built SV-1 looks like . . .
Studying a beautiful result like yours I am racked with guilt about hacking one about (soon)
Jarrod Could you please post how you mixed and applied that blue tone stain ?
I read through this thread and you don't say much about what you actually mixed the stain with and how you applied it ?
I have some of that Blue Tone here and I want to try and follow your technique hopefully I can get similar results
