---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ever so cool!!! These are good tips! I was told once upon a time to add the stain or dye to the filler (water based paste) and I'm not greatly pleased with how it comes out. A mist coat of sealer might help it not get too blotchy. The sealer I used also seemed to come out of the pores when I lightly sand. It there something I can do to prevent all that reapplying? Very glad to hear of your upcoming articles!!!
