[RBW] Re: Tinting clear Shellac
Back in the day I would sprinkle instant coffee powder into polyester resin for surfboard repairs. Might end up looking more tan/brown than amber though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Use some alcohol based ink, it'll mix right in and probably be more beautiful. At that point, why not custom tint to a more interesting color?

The first time I shellacked bar tape, I stopped by Riv (probably when they were upstairs at the old address) and I believe it was Joe Bauder squeezed a small amount of liquid dye for me out of a plastic bottle to darken the shellac. It may have been an ounce or less of dye, and I don't remember exactly what it was, but it mixed in easily. A hardware store may be able to help with some dye.

I have an entire bag of amber flakes lying around somewhere. If you'd want a hand full of flakes I can send'm your way. Disolve and mix in w/ your clear.
