First application of Amaranthine deep colour. Some noticeable glue spots which were missed initially, but I had intended to sand this coat back anyway so I will rectify these then.
It's a lovely colour, but I can't help being reminded of Gestetner Ink...(the youngsters among us won't get that reference...)

that looks great Bass Guy!!!!
The difference between the colour when it's in shade and when it's in the sunlight is astonishing.
