    Hey buddy, I copied these links in on one of your other threads as this colour fountain pen ink might just do the trick. Wouldn't hurt to mix in a small amount of yellow ink jet cartridge ink too in case it is a bit dark. Big CAUTION with inks......the colour can bleed and it is easy to wipe most off over a large area with a damp rag even 24 hours after initial application.

    Thanks Waz, I was looking at fountain pen ink the other day. I was in Spotlight the same day, and spotted tie-dye ink as well. I'm not sure how workable that would be.
    My kit has been shipped, but due to the distances between WA and Tassie, I won't see it till next week. Hopefully I get a good looking veneer on top.

    Hi Zandit, not sure how colour fast other products might be. I once looked at food dyes and moved on from such as was not convinced it would be colour fast. Best to check as the last thing you want is a nice finish that gradually fades over time.
