Mixing and Match Dyes Next to Each Other
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2018 4:51 pm
I’m envisioning the mahogany neck with a very subtle burst similar to a violin neck (or a Gibson J-45), where the ends of the neck are dark mahogany red/brown fading into an oval of subtle golden mahogany in the center of the back of the neck. I know the Gibson does not have a golden feature in the center oval that is the back of the neck... but some violins do.
A couple of related wood dye questions that are troubling me:
Can a StewMac ColorTone liquid dye be used next to TransTint (powder) dye on the same piece?
I feel like little Johnny asking this but WTH, could a TransTint power dye mixed with water be used next to (or on top of) a TransTint powder dye mixed with alcohol?
Does the diluent (water or alcohol) have any effect on bleeding (or blending) into an adjacent color or into the vinyl sealer / nitro laid down on top of it?
I guess I have all winter to answer those questions/ figure it out. I do like the sharing aspect of the forum though.
Maybe should I break down these 3 questions into three threads? So many questions, so few birthdays left....
