Thanks ! The learning curve was steep at first. I remember nearly giving up from frustration the first couple times I tried.
TransTint's instructions were maybe OK for very lightly colored wood intended as furniture, but way too diluted to look good on a guitar body.
The scary part of these 'sand back' finishes is to put so much black on the piece:
Pulling the dye with denatured alcohol and then finally a bit of water to raise the grain before sanding it back and applying the orange:
With so much moisture it warps quite a bit so I'll have to let it dry overnight. It's already somewhat flat enough.
