Getting to the point with my GR-1SF build where I will apply the colour. I'm using U-Beaut water-based dye, which I've never used before. The instructions on their website are fairly general, so was wondering if anyone had some tips for me specifically for guitar use, along the lines of:
1. What's the best way to apply it - brush, sponge or rag? (or spray maybe?)
2. Slip slop slap or be frugal?
3. Should I apply it warm or cold?
4. Will it stain the binding? I know some plastics (nylon especially) are easily dyeable... so I guess is the binding used on the kits made from nylon or similar plastic?
5. When to sand or not? For example, after each coat or 2, 3, 4?
