I have a custom order for a fountain pen and need to try and match a specific colour. I have used spirit dyes and achieved the colour close to what I want but when I try to apply a CA finish everything becomes very blotchy and the dye bleed into the CA. I have tried a couple of different things to topcoat the dye before applying the CA but none of them have worked to my satisfaction. I thought I had the solution by applying WTF over top. I let everything dry for 2 or more days between dyeing and applying WTF. I then dud the same between the WTF and CA finish but when I start to sand and polish there are little shiny areas under the CA. They kind of look like bubbles but aren't. Sorry for the long post but I need some help in getting this finished. Any ideas? I searched the site but didn't really find anything that seemed to help. Maybe I didn't look hard enough but time is becoming of the essence so hence my question
Thanks
