James Parker sands with green scotch brite and 400 sand paper .
That’s what I did.
I have scraped before

Mad Max · « **Reply #2181 on:** December 06, 2019, 10:27:57 AM »

Wiped down with Acetone before and after

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #2182 on:** December 06, 2019, 10:56:28 AM »

The dye is denatured alcohol soluble / mixable.

I don't know if that would be compatible before and after with Acetone?

I use a scraper to remove the rind then sand with 320.

Looks like something is not working on your end there.

Before sanding and after sanding.
Then dye it

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #2184 on:** December 06, 2019, 02:04:33 PM »

Do not put acetone on it anymore period none never again......

I scrape the rind off with a scraper then sand lightly with 320 length wise then wipe with clean rag dampened with denatured alcohol.

Just barely get the rind off, don't go too deep.

Don't go under the white?????????
Under the white is yellow strands!!

Thanks Roy

Just barely scrape off the waxy film, No don't go under the white.
You don't want to get down into the power fibers.
Do not use acetone on this bow.
I doubt the alcohol base dye you have is compatible with acetone residue.

I have put a bunch of acetone/epoxy finishes on BBOs over leather dye, no problems.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #2189 on:** December 08, 2019, 01:42:58 PM »

Whatever but something there is not working out well for Maxi..
I'm wondering if the alcohol based dye is having a bad reaction to the acetone.

Mad Max · « **Reply #2190 on:** December 08, 2019, 06:38:24 PM »

This is the Osage one washed with the Acetone .
The dye job came out exactly like I wanted it to.

I did the Ipe one last night, scraped (like you said) and used the Mouth Atomizer again and got the same thing.
The large spots are done buy a paint brush with 2 or 3 hairs on it and dip it into Denatured Alcohol or dye.

I watched the Poor folk video 2 weeks ago, I like that too, but I wanted to do the way James Parker does it.

Mad Max · « **Reply #2191 on:** December 08, 2019, 06:53:42 PM »

This is a BBB I got from James, see roy same thing beside the big spots.
He does them like yours too.
Next time I will use less Denatured Alcohol

Flem · « **Reply #2192 on:** December 08, 2019, 07:33:35 PM »

Looks like classic fish-eyes. Something is impeding absorption, or maybe you need more lung power for atomization

kennym · « **Reply #2193 on:** December 08, 2019, 07:36:27 PM »

I like the spots...

Mad Max · « **Reply #2194 on:** December 08, 2019, 07:57:34 PM »

flim flam go to your corner

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #2195 on:** December 08, 2019, 08:10:34 PM »

Monkeys may be able to pick cotton--

Just a question for all wood guys. currently been working on an osage self bow. had it in steamer couple hours and now clamped to caul. my question is, how long do you guys leave them clamped up after steaming?
