Thanks Was

I am brightening a darker colour (Mahogany Red) with a lighter one (Cherry Red). And it does not take much CR to brighten the MR because there is already quite a bit of red in it. I was thinking of doing the wipe on/off coat in the MR based in the same principle that the quilt it generally popped with black or a darker colour the sanded (hopefully wiped) off. If the wipe off is not too successful and leaves to much MR there is a lot of margin to add more red to the subsequent coats.

The CT is mixed with metho and not water because of the previous veneer problems. So I don't know whether that will effect the wipe off. All part of the experience.
