I would suggest some goof-off for the glue.

cheers,
Gav.

Thanks Gav. I'll give that a try.

Looking good. I think the purple was worth experimenting with, but it was the right move to sand it right back. Good luck with the top, The burst looks good on the back, it will look amazing on the quilt.

Having just been through the glue issue yesterday I used goofoff successfully and then a little sand to rough it up (400). This was after the first and second coats of stain. A bit scary but worked out in the end. My diary has all the gory details. Keep up the good work.

I've been using makeup removal wipes for the dye application and they work well. I discovered a trick for getting the colour blending more smooth and progressive. After applying the dye, and allowing it to dry a little, I used a damp wipe to rung along the blend line and blur the transition. I'm now happy with the back which ended up like this.

After a number of applications of dye and a fair bit of sanding on the front I'm also happy with the way this has turned out.

I started with the black/green base which was sanded off as the grain popper background.





Starting with the yellow centre, adding the blue edge and blending to green...

[AxeMurderer]

That was sanded back and yellow applied all over...





Then a final sand and application of some more yellow and blue and the damp applicator merging and I think I'm done.





Now to wait a few days before putting the shellac coats on.

Cheers

It's interesting to me that the front shows some orange among the yellow although I didn't apply any orange to the front. I'm guessing that this is the wood's reaction to the yellow.

That is looking wicked, it should look even better with a gloss type finish.

DUDE! I am loving every bit of that. Great job!
