Re: My 56 build
No oil, I’m actually using dye and mixing my own stain. All from Amazon. To get the color change effect I’m first using blue mixed in water. That gets soaked into the wood. I apply it with a large oral syringe and spread it around with rubber gloves. After that dries I apply a quick coat of brown that’s mixed In lacquer thinner. It’s applied with a rag. The quick drying lacquer thinner keeps the stain on the surface. Dries, then sanded with 400 until I get the look I like. Then 2 coats of automotive urethane. Let dry overnight. Sand smooth and apply 2 more coats. I experimented last winter and perfected the process.
