Marcel's RCM-4F (PBG build #3)

[Simon Barden]

I got the text and images on my PC.

Me too by using Chrome as my browser not IE.

Firefox on Ubuntu is only okay with the photos. Nup. Nil text...

[wazkelly]

That is strange indeed?

Maybe if you google it yourself from within preferred browser that may produce a different outcome?

[Marcel]

Did the suggested Google search and it came back with the same link, and a host of others.

http://www.joewoodworker.com/transtints.htm was very interesting. I'm not using Transtints but a lot of the info seems relevant.

http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articl...or_tinting.htm is also probably worth a shot...

[Marcel]

Also found this USA site if the whole show goes totaly sideways...

The 2nd link didn't say much but gives hope for trying the water based stain in some water based poly to see if you can brew up a tint of the right colour.

[Marcel]

So true Waz.

If food dye can be okay then my water based colours from U-Beaut will probably also be okay... And I know the ratios I used with them so I should be able to get a good colour match.... Have to go to that Green shed and get some fresh unfinished test material so I can try it all out. Looks like the AC15 clone will be back on the main bench for a little while until I get this all sorted.

BTW - that veneer place I linked earlier has 631 products in their Maple veneer range alone. Not sure if they send to AU .... just sayin...

[wazkelly]

Yeah, I tripped over some veneers stuff on eBay in the past few days whilst looking for something else. Plenty of temptation screaming out for your money from everywhere.

Still reckon you could rescue it by pretending its on purpose.... Very quick 'shop for inspirations...
