    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Hi Joe, the inks I mentioned before worked out fine under TO.

    DB is right though in that it has a light amber colour and can turn blues a slight tinge of green as you can see in this shot. I have also attached one of a maple neck headstock to show the natural colour shade inherent in TO.

    For some reason when I applied the tru oil over the stamp ink (got that idea from youtube) I was using it turned to poo, the acrylic however holds its color very well when TO is applied. Also the markers im using to draw the poison ivy figure would "bleed" into the grain making the edges quite blurry. This problem has also been eliminated with the acrylic paint.

    For your poison ivy figure it may work better applied on top of your first clear top coat to stop it bleeding into the stain coat. This is how transfer paper type decals are added.

    If the TO caused things to turn to poo maybe the stain was not fully dry perhaps? I usually do all the experimenting on a scrap bit of pine ply and have sometimes also applied 1st coat of TO with a 1" wide paint brush as using a rag straight up can cause things to go pear shaped.

    Don't be afraid to lightly brush on coats if you are worried about dragging the finish all over the place if applying finish with a rag. Only other option is to use a spray for the headstock to protect the poison ivy figure.
