al heeley Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 My Ric bass build: Thinking about the finish options within my reach..... I want it black. I'd like to dye the maple cap really dark blue - black then put a few coats of Rusins Plastic Coating over it to a high gloss, maybe get a tiny sniff of the grain underneath. OR Can you dye the Rustins Plastic Coating? then just go for a deep opaque blue-black painted straight on and buffed to a shine? Would that give a better finish? Don't laugh: anyone ever used Quink black ink as a wood dye? :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 im sure i read somewhere once about adding dye to rustins plastic coating. just try it with a little bit on some scrap and see which you like best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
