Hey Waz, trying a test patch DARK TAN on the body today...NO Blue Nugget exists..Keep you posted...Earlier indications got me thinking a Black coat sanded back then finished in dark tan...The body you speak of is a classic Gibson Les Paul job...Front is a burst/color and neck and body sides match..Got time and Nugget costs $3.64...Might try neutral nugget melted down with blue computer ink added then cooled!!!!

Based on this google search you might need to use another brand..... https://www.google.com.au/search?q=b...HWqvD68QsAQINg Mister Minute kiosks in shopping centres often have colour change bottles mainly used on ladies shoes plus they also have a big range of colours and reckon they would have blue in traditional 'Nugget' style too.
Hope you have a long white lab coat handy if going down the mad scientist path. Things could get messy.

coming along nicely HB, the colour is very similar to Dingotone Bondi Blue. Got to love blue quilted maple looks like you are looking into a swimming pool ! Have you already put the copper shielding in ? I usually do that last before the wiring.
Be worth cleaning up the binding now as well.

Hi guys, haven't posted in a while nothing to report as waiting on the Neck curing and the blue stain to dry out, I haven't done the shielding yet nor binding,reason is I am clumsy and I know as soon as I handle it I will smudge something so waiting till the finish no longer smells then know it will be dry,

I was pretty skeptical when you said "blue boot polish" to stain the body, but that quilted top looks amazing!
