Awrite... after this days layer it actually feels pretty much more hopeful. Im not sure this picture makes the color justice either, but if you compare side-to-side with the pic in the earlier post there's absolutely a difference in the right direction. it strook me while applying this layer: i think i actually was a bit too restrictive with the first deep color layer (in the ambition of being careful); the wood really absorbs/wants much of the paint. And yes, this layer is rubbed in, no slapping technique this time.

Cheers folks!
