Strange result with the Tru-Oil lifting the ink.
The Bombay ink is also water based.
Luckily, things went well for me with the KEDA dye and Tru-Oil.
3rd full strength coat of Tru-Oil went on the body today. Things are starting to even out nicely.

Back to the neck...
I grabbed a couple of linseed oil based paints to tint the Tru-Oil with.
Seems to have been successful.
I’ll know for sure when it dries.
I have to get some pics up
