So after bugging Dave R a hundred times about half a year ago, I finally got started on this..
What the plan was: clear back, tiger eye dye top..
in order to get the tiger eye effect, I was going to use a darker shade for the first coat, than sand down and another coat of a lighter shade on top of that...
The only problem is, this IS the darkest shade.. (double the standard dose) and to be honest, I already quite like it.
so:
- should I still go ahead and sand down, dilute and go over it with another coat?
- go over it with an even darker shade and go from there?
- leave as is? it is not really as blotchey as it is in the pics... should I add more coats anyway? (of the same shade)
- also, how do you get dye from yer fingertips??
I used honey amber transtint. I planned to delute with denatured alcohol, but then i remembered how I hated the fact that Shellac dried so fast, and that this was probably going to do the same... so I used water.
