Dingotone Butterscotch; Ratio/ Applying to body/neck/...fretboard...?
Just got back to the guitar after waiting a few days from applying the first coat of butterscotch
Its looking a little more yellow than I had hoped, I pretty much did a 50/50 mix of the stain and white mix.
I'm not sure where to go next, really wishing I had kept some scrap from cutting the head to work on! Hindsight 20/20 haha.
I also did what I think may be a NO-NO in guitar building.
After reading DingoBass and a few other posts saying we can use the stain coat on the neck as well I decided why not give it a try and used some of the mixed Butterscotch liquid on the neck...and fretboard. I started with the neck but did the fretboard as well because I think it looked strange being so pale on the board and so yellow on the neck. I'm wishing I had purchased a neck finish bottle as well! Captain Hindsight once again.
Anyway, if there's anyone who's got a good formula for the butterscotch finish out there please let me know your thoughts.
And please help me try and fix my mistake on the the neck/finger board!
