If you like, you can e-mail me privately. Paul, Sorry, no tips on clear stuff, except that I use analine dye. It can be a little tough if it travels in the hairline cracks, but CA before hand will stop that noise. The dye job will be more color stable, and you can really tell what color it's gonna be when it's wet. Looks alot better than "painting grain", although you can use it the same way, by scoring grain lines with a razor, and letting the dye do the work. A light pass with methanol afterwards removes the surface darkness, and leaves the grain. Can you tell us more about the above-mentioned Allied and Surf suppliers? All I've used is Koenig. Are the others cheaper, etc? Thanks, Guy
