here's a pencil holder with a coat of tarkine green, it's an offcut from the blackheart sassafras build. I've never seen grain like it. Looks even better in the flesh

These new colours have a great feature.
They dont stain binding
I will be gradually changing the entire range to this updated formula.
As well as the Amethyst I have two new opaque colours at testing stage.
A green that is reminicent of the classic sea foam and a potential butterscotch..
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
hehe and I just spent 4 hours scraping binding, you're a cruel man DB!Originally Posted by dingobass

Scott.
Not that I am excited or anything, but BUTTERSCOTCH!!!!!!!! When when when when when?
Hi DB, Just noticed in this thread you mentioned a new colour Butterscotch and wanting to confirm whether opaque or if it will act like a stain?
I have a Basswood body and bought Outback Sunset as I thought Coolangatta Gold might be too yellow but would prefer a more caramel butterscotch colour that could still reveal a bit of the timber grain. Looking at other completed Outback Sunset jobs makes me think it will be more Orange and much darker than what I was hoping to achieve.
Any suggestions or do I need to consider a special blend or buy some Coolangatta Gold and mix it up myself? Best guess for a blend would be 2:1 CG:OS ratio or maybe slightly less OS, possibly 3:1 perhaps?
sounds great DB the plans. I also got a brown to beta test which is yet to be named.
I noticed I could wipe off any stain on the binding with my finger while it hadn't dried and it came off easy

got a coat of bondi blue on a ST1 body, , I think the second coat will really bounce, the new formula is a nice depth

got third coat of tarkine green on the body and managed to glue a camphor veneer to the headstock and cut the shape and got first coat on the headstock.
I've almost run out of tarkine green so may need a bit more DB, the 3rd coat was rationed as I wanted to save a bit for the headstock and a light 4th coat on the body
