Popping Cherry with Hardtail Strat

I'd have reservations about adding your dye mixture to the Tru Oil if it has water mixed into it. TO & water won't get along.

I'll say. The oil will start lifting the colour and the action of spreading it will move colour around.
I ended up using India ink instead.

cheers, Mark.

Mark, I could not find any india inks that were soluble in oil; only water.
Did you find an oil-soluble ink? Or did you use the ink on the bare wood?

Thanks for the input.

Hi FunkedOut.
I was staining Epiphone junior with a water based ink and Tru-Oil lifted it and spread it around.

I got myself some 'Bombay' brand india ink from a general stationary supplier 'Riot Art Supplies'

The red wasn't quite yellow enough so I got a bottle of red and yellow.
Once it had dried, I could apply Tru-Oil over the top and it worked no problem.



cheers, Mark
