@andrew - very interesting! this warrants some experimenting. I wonder how to sand off the grain filler without taking off the dye. carefully i suspect!

@fretty - ROFL. damn man. that's the problem with having a stack of kits and working from home. not much actual work seems to get done!! for the sake of my reputation i better slow down a little .

cheers,
Gav.

Looks like technique is basically:
1. Dye Wood
2. Seal Wood
3. Grain fill, clean up.
4. Final finish
