hi all
bout 2/3 weeks ago, i turned a pen and l.o. and while on the lathe decided to experiment with colouring. for this i used food colouring ( thats all i could find ). it worked good, but now it's starting to wear off and the natural colours starting to show thru.
what i did was:
turn down the blank
sand to 1200
apply colouring
left for ten min
apply shellawax and hut
and the lo i left it for 24 hrs but did the same as above
is the only thing i did wrong was use food dye or was it how i applyied it?
tia
cheers
