Another nellie Style...

Post by sporty »

This is a derby evolution body and His fenders. balsa fenders.


I tried some green dye and I wanted emerald green, but that's not what I got, I did not mix it right. and I ran into some problems. But so far, it's okay.

Sporty,

Was the wood dye you used a distilled water mix.. or an alcohol mix for fast drying..
and non-grain rasing?

I've used the trans tint brand dyes with abrasive pads like maroon mirlon on a few wood projects.
Never gave much thought to useing the wood dyes on Pwd cars.. I like how it looks.
