Hammer5573 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I’ve used wood dyes on previous federal projects but I don’t like that I must apply dye before stringing because it limits how must I can sand the wood after stringing. For my next federal style project I’m planning to use epoxy instead of wood as the stringing material. Does anybody know if wood dye can be applied AFTER the epoxy stringing without coloring the epoxy..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I'm pretty certain that the dye won't penetrate the epoxy, but it might lay on the surface enough to affect the color a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 It would be an easy enough ecperiment to do on scrap. That is a very interesting idea! It would allow you to make stringing patterns with much tighter curves than would be possible with wood strings. If you do it I'd love to see your process and outcome.

wtnhighlander Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Epoxy would be similar to the "Poor man's inlay" that Chuck Bender did a video about. Molten Sulfur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
