Hey Friends,
Two questions, please:
I'm using Wudtone Lady Teal - I chose the glossy top coat with no ageing, and no highlights. Here's what the color looks like on the BYOGuitar website:
My goal is to get the deepest blue I can. As someone who has never been good at following directions (ask any teachers/employers - I'm more of a 'creative solutions' guy) the instructions leave me with a question: in the kit is a Base Color Coat (the blue), a White Base (you guessed it - white) and a Top Coat (clear-ish). As I understand it you start with the color coat, and then for certain colors (the instructions don't mention the one I have chosen, but others like it, like Azure Sky) move to a base coat that you get by mixing the color with the base. They suggest mixing the color and base to get the desired tint, but my fear is that no matter what the base will lighten the color, and as I said, my goal is to get the deepest blue possible. So question #1 is, how necessary (chemically) is the white base coat? Can I simply do multiple coats with the color coat, and then finish it off with the top coat?
Question #2 concerns my work space: in order to stay married throughout the project, I will be working in the basement, which is clean and dry, but cool. How crucial is temperature to the stain setting? Do I need to put a heater under the body (which will hang) while each coat sets?
Thanks for your help.
