cheers AJ, pretty happy how the colour has naturally darkened. I still got a bit left for one more light coat, so we'll see how that goes. AJ, your avatar looks a bit like Maxaxe

When's the brown gonna hit the store? That stuff's great. Wondering how itll turn out over mahogany.
Not that I am excited or anything, but BUTTERSCOTCH!!!!!!!! When when when when when?Quote:

ScoopD think the butterscotch is still in the testing phase
I visited DB Friday and he gave me a new colour to test - butterscotch. I tried an experiment and had a pale coat of the purple stain on a LP-1P, I lightly sanded it and went over it with butterscotch and over a neck, pretty happy with the results. Will hopefully get a 2nd coat on later today
Oh my word.
Nice, looking good
Wow, the butterscotch is looking very nice ideed! :)
cheers,
Gav.
Any news on the purple?
That butterscotch ... mmmm. I wonder if I have any lollies in the cupboard?
That butterscotch looks great, especially on the neck.
yeah the butterscotch looks good and I was hoping to get a second coat on but ran out of time. The neck had a prior coat of coolangatta gold but the butterscotch is deeper in colour.
@ Nick I need to get some more purple to try and I've run out of test bodies !
wow looks so good!
I have a guitar I want purple for, please release it !!
G'day, gave the LP-1P and ST neck a second coat of butterscotch, very happy with the intensity of the colour. Will see how it looks after a third coat and it could be ready for clearing. Have to decide what colour to do back/sides
Any updates on the blue wokka?
Anyone done a burst with the dingotone yet?
Hey Ihasmario,
I took some sample stains for Ads to photograph last weekend, he hasn't updated the pics on the PBG website yet, but here's the bondi blue after 4 coats. I think this body is not how it will typically look, as quite a few areas the stain hasn't taken but I like the look.
I haven't done a full DT burst but here's a ST I did with outback sunset and air brushed a black and red burst line on. Sure a full DT burst would work fine
Well that settles it, I think I'll be going for a blue burst on my next build. Which is what I wanted before but it turned out green
:D
That blue is really vibrant and the Outback Sunset is something I will have to have a crack at.
I'm doing a black burst with the nullabor ochre, pics are up on the thread "Custom IB-7" I'm only half way through but I've got to say its going amazing. The only qualm I have with dingotone is that it dries very slowly compared to other finishes.Quote:

Yes, the DT does dry slower than most..Quote:

Also, i am hoping to instill a slow build/ finish ethos as this will always give you a far superior end product.
Typically my scratch builds take three months minimum before i call them done. Most of this time is spent on the finish!
Because i am anally retentive about my finishes i leave each coat to dry for at least a week :)
yeah I have to agree DB its good having multiple builds on the go. I'm trying to wait a week between DT clear coats on my scratch tele.
When are you expanding the naughty room DB its getting bloody crowded !
By the way DB you are only 17 posts off 2000 posts but you won't get the overlord tag. I'm only 25 posts off 4000 posts so will put up a post for suggestions for tags above 4000 posts - and not 'get a life' DB haha
Hi DB, Just noticed in this thread you mentioned a new colour Butterscotch and wanting to confirm whether opaque or if it will act like a stain?
I have a Basswood body and bought Outback Sunset as I thought Coolangatta Gold might be too yellow but would prefer a more caramel butterscotch colour that could still reveal a bit of the timber grain. Looking at other completed Outback Sunset jobs makes me think it will be more Orange and much darker than what I was hoping to achieve.
Any suggestions or do I need to consider a special blend or buy some Coolangatta Gold and mix it up myself? Best guess for a blend would be 2:1 CG:OS ratio or maybe slightly less OS, possibly 3:1 perhaps?
The butterscotch can be both translucent and opaque.
Its just a matter of how many coats you apply.
Pretty keen to get my hands on some of this butterscotch, will it be available soon?
If you deliver the scotch, I'm pretty sure DB will add the butter... :PQuote:

Hi Guys
wondering how i can use dingotone product to get a blue/black colour on our ST1??
Hi Olisam, welcome to the forum, order Dingotone bondi blue http://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/d...it-bondi-blue/
and black stump black stain http://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/d...t-black-stump/
The stains are ragged onto the body. Start sanding the ST-1 kit first !
Thanks Wokkaboy
I saw the Black Stump....but to my eyes it looked dark green!....
is it truly black?
thanks dude
Hey Oli,
The Black Stump is Blacker than Black :)
There was some debate over the name - some were preferring none more black.
