Honey Brooks will darken with use and treatment. Takes time... ----- Original Message ----- From: mizrachi To: RBW Owners Bunch Sent: Friday, October 16, 2009 9:59 AM Subject: [RBW] shellac vanity question
I've applied a few coats of Bullseye amber shellac over yellow Tressostar cloth tape but the look is considerably darker than my almost brand new honey Brooks b17. In fact, the bars more closely resemble the Brooks antique brown color. Will the shellacked bars fade? Will the seat darken? Or, in order to more directly match the bars to the saddle, do I need to try again, perhaps mixing the shellac with denatured alcohol or replacing the yellow cloth tape with another color or with cork? Trivial and obsessive, I know, but that's half the fun! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
