When you say 59/39/2 do you measure this in droplets?
|
I do the tests with a little special spoon used for powder. It's exactly 0.1 CC
Once the color is acceptable I mix a large quantity to last for many guitars so I don't need to remix it... and I tag and store it in a dark area for the next time I'll need to use it.

How much of the dissolved dye mix [dissolved in mineral turpentine I now Know] do you combine with how much filler? From the photo it looks like maybe 1/4 or 1/3 cup?
|
It's a feel thing... I add a little and if not pasty enough I add more...etc... it's not an accurate science.

Is mineral turpentine the same as mineral spirits? Or is it two different things?
|
I don't know. I always buy this as Turpentine. It's the correct thinner for oil based fillers and paints + also disolves aniline and pigment colors... so it's just perfect for the job. It will not attack the ABS, CAB and Celluloid bindings.

Here again measured in droplets? And from the pic it looks like the dye/thinner mixture is added to maybe 2 or three ounces of lacquer?
|
Same thing as above... for coloring I only add a little lacquer in order to get better control in multiple slow passes... no rules in spraying... do what you feel is right |
