Guys it may help the mixing if you thin the TO a little with mineral turps. It will also slow the drying rate so you can work with it.

Good point Gav as I had a play around late this afternoon and posted some photos below. The TO easily goes over the top of anything however when mixing the blue ink jet ink with a small amount of TO, all good but when adding the red food colouring it wanted to separate suggesting more water based content in the food dye. Suspect Ink jet ink has other stuff in it as it didn't seem to react at all.

Rockmof, the Cyan comes out very dark straight from the bottle. Unfortunately iPhone photo colouring is not always a true representation as C1:W4 & C1:W5 are actually quite light and aqua/turquoise to the naked eye and somewhere near the colouring I am chasing for my flame top tele. The notations mean C1 = 1 part Cyan to W4 = 4 parts Water, etc.

Hopes this helps if you are tempted to have a go with adding a blue tinted TO coat or two to add more depth to the top. If so, find the cheapest cyan blue separate colour tank that you could split open and use an eye dropper to add a little bit at a time to a small batch of TO that would normally be sufficient to cover the top of the body only.
