More adventures in colour mixing. This time I think I've got it.
Well, something I'm happy with anyway.
Decided to play around with the other colours for future reference.
I particularly like the yellow and the orange.

The neck joint was a bit sloppy, so I glued in some veneers to each side to tighten it up a bit.
Yeah, you could say that worked.
Passes the old Ormsby test. Snug as a bug.

Red looks pretty good man, what was your plans for clear coats?
The colour looks great Pablo! Kind of a wine red. Will look great on the EX-1
nice colour palette Pabs.
Looks like you nailed the deep red wine colour you are after !
Think I might have to order one of these dye sets, the amount of colours you can mix are almost endless.
Love that dark green would love to try that on a flame maple LP

Thanks fellas. Enjoying the hell out of this build.
@Andrew, Red with a bit of blue and a couple of drops of black. My recipe is written on the side there.
@Bargeloobs, Not 100% sure yet. Tru oil or acrylic. With the weather the way it is at the moment, tru oil might be the less frustrating option.
@Wokka, not a huge investment, I'm having tons of fun mixing and experimenting.![]()

Looking good pabs, that Orange is rather nice isn't it. I think these stain kits would be rather handy indeed!
For some things, some times, it's the same time all over the world, and I think we know what time that is...
I think I might have talked Wokks into trying out some nitro, as I said to him, 3 days to lay down clear coats and I'm done. Obviously the nitro will still take weeks to cure properly but I can pick it up and handle it normally without fear of destroying the finish. It's just so easy this time of year, not to mention the satin looks fricken amazing.
I'm starting to sound a bit like a salesperson for Behlen but it really is magical shit:-)
