Bluesy, Crap oil has nothing to do with DTMKII. I have been working on MKII for five or six months now... So add that to the twelve months of R&D for MKI you might see that my dedication to providing a safer alternative finish to the community is something I take VERY seriously.
I have watched too many good people die from hideous cancers caused by chemicals in paints etc.
That is my main driving force behind developing DT.
Colour chart... Yhep... Must do one
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Three coats of intensifyer coat, I haven't cut this coat back yet but it shows the extra gloss and luster MKII is giving.
Last coat was applied at 3:30pm yesterday and it is touch dry now.
Ambient temp 30*C, humidity 35-40%.
I will leave it now for a few days to allow these coats to cure a bit more before I start on the finish coats.
(These tests are on a body that was stained with MKI)

The stain was an early blue that wasn't lightfast.... But the effect on the Spalt looks ok I guess.Originally Posted by wokkaboy

it's still had a cool effect, deepened some of that grain. That early blue went to grey so it's worked ok
let me know if you want me or Popeye to beta test anything.
By the way FDF Four Dee Friday is ON this week !

Thinking of a blue or green finish for my first kit, wanting more shine was the only thing making me cautious with DT. With all this news, let me know if you want a test dummy!
Great news DingoBass
I guess now I'll have to find a new project to work on so I can apply the Dingotone II to it..
Don't tell the Missus though!!!
;P
(P.S. please post some pics of the new formula once it's been applied!! )
I just tell my missus its for a client she doesnt know the difference haha
I will be using DTII on my Junior build..
Great news DB. Looking forward to sampiling the new formula and seeing the new colours.
cheers,
Gav.
