cool, cheers Pabs, might order a set of dyes. Do you need to water them down or are you using them straight out of the bottle ?
Presume the centre is yellow and the darker edges what colour did you mix with yellow ?

They should be watered down. The centre is yellow with a couple of drops of brown and the outer is a stronger mix of yellow with 2ml of brown. I worked out all the formulas, measuring everything out exactly in syringes, so I can reproduce them in case I need to make more. Tedious, but worth it.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
sure all the experimentation will pay off and measuring to the ml good move

Stain looks awesome Pablo. headstock came up a treat
the u-beaut stains look good, and nice job, Pabs.
they are actually local to me, about 10 mins drive, they also make a product called Aussie oil, which is their version of what seems to be tru oil, without the nasties... might have to try them myself

pretty sure Gav T has used the Aussie oil so he should be able to shed some light on it

Wow, love that colour Pabs. Almost the colour of a juicy Bowen Mango.
Colour looks great Pabs. Want to see some clear on there!
cheers,
Gav.
