Wudtone Question

reggieboy

Hi guys , I've treated a tele body with wudtone (Black Magic Woman) and sadly the finish id not what I wanted. Brown not black.

So is it okay to sand it all off and start again with a different type of finish ??

What is the best way to prepare for a new non-wudtone finish ??

Cheers, Reg

Post a pic or two, and see what @andypwudtone has to say.

My instinct would be to persevere with the Wudtone.  Sometimes it takes a couple of gos to get it right (as you'd want it to be).  I've had finishes that have been a bit anaemic at first - cured by sanding it off and then really forcing the finish into the wood (ie rubbing it in HARD!).

What's the body wood?

As said previously

Often you need to keep going with Wudtone to get the desired colour, 

The wood makes a difference as all absorb differently and some do not take Wudtone as well as others, think they do a chart. 

Also with Wudtone ISTR some are dyes like BMW and you will also find it darkens and saturates more depending on the top coat. I would certainly try additional coats rubbing well in. Some woods just suck it up other it seems to slide arounds.

hello @reggieboy no doubt we can help get you sorted. 

The type of wood and the condition of the surface eg how fine sanded has a huge impact. If you send me a pic to mail@wudtone.com try find out the wood , let me know how it was prepared before applying the BMW , I can help. Most probably the key isn't right, dye not penetrating , finish slipping off hence brown not black!

From experience on here, I'm afraid I'm not inclined to continue responding to this thread if @randomhandclaps has no value to add other than shit stirring.

So email me direct and I will do my very best to help. kind regards
