carlstoke 34 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Used Colron wood dye on naturals mate with good results, use the spirit based type not waterbased, just wipe on with a soft cloth one coat overnight dry job done. I finised mine with a ca glue coat but its your choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Poacher o 21 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Try flame bake it over a candle its a lot more accurate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kemperz21 65 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've tryed flame baking I've found it's not very good it just chars the wood then I wipe with a rag and it all comes straight off maybe I need to leave it over the flame for ages how long do you do yours ?
