In Response To: Strip: Aniline dye (Randy Echtinaw)

: I am going to experiment with dye on one hull. What is the correct
: sequence and time frame for applying dye then sealing the wood
: with epoxy then glassing? Any sanding between dye and epoxy seal
: coat due to raised wood grain? How long should the dye dry
: before epoxy won't lift it?
: Thank you,
: Randy

Check out nick blog, he has a video on this.
And do some test pieces before you go whole hog, this will hone your own skill before tackling the boat. It is hard to go back once the die has hit the boat.
