TwinOaks Report post Posted March 15, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcflyguy Report post Posted March 15, 2015 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 bcflyguy aka Neil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
