Thank you mucho, Bob. Your pieces, as several others, just have that beautiful warm glow. Kinda reminds me of when I was 18 and . . . well, that's another story.When you dye lettering, do you do it before or after Neatsfooting it? And do you use Sharpies or spirit dyes? Thanks again, Bob.
I use spirit dyes and I do all my dyeing before I oil. I have dyed backgrounding after oiling, but it takes longer to dry. I have only dyed lettering before oiling. Also, it's important to let the dye completely dry before applying the first coat of Neat-Lac, because Neat-Lac will pick up the dye!
How do you deal with the fumes from Neat Lac? I can't even stay in the same building as that stuff! The first and only time I used it, I was buzzed outta my gourd!
That's easy Hilly....if the Neat-Lac fumes begin to dissapate, I open up my can of Barge! :Holysheep:

This may be sort of a pain to do but after you ventilate properly, put on a charcoal dust mask or a cartridge respirator. It will keep you from smelling the fumes.

I use a respirator and crank up the fan whenever I use anything that emits strong fumes. I'm saving up to get a spray booth someday.

:rofl: I don't want to take the fun away. Just trying to keep the few brain cells I have in tact, so that I can keep the memory loss away!!!
