It sounds like the dye you're using isn't 'light fast'. My suggestion is to find a similar color in Fiebing's Oil Dyes, recolor, and then seal with Resolene. Resolene is an acrylic based sealer that also has a UV blocker in it. So, use one of the better dyes and then protect the dye from sun bleaching.

That sounds reasonable. Off to Tandy at 9 o'clock. Should I use any deglaze first Twinoaks? Also , how many coats of Resolene should I apply and should it be applied full strength or diluted?

Thank you very much for your help with this

Much appreciated
