I also tried the vintage amber route and came up the same, too dark. I didn't know what to do. Can you possibly update this post with a before/after photo comparison of the area you repaired? I know this is a VERY old post but hopefully by now the job is finished ;)<br /><br />-Paul, New Orleans<br /><br />Ps. glad I found this BlogSpot, looks awesome.

Yes, this would work ...Thanks for your question. <br /><br />Yes, this would work well on binding if you are looking for an 'aged' finish. I've done it on binding and it comes out well. Don't overdo the color - just a tint of amber/yellow will work fine. <br /><br />Try looking for pictures of vintage guitars with yellowed binding for ideas on color.<br /><br />You had two identical comments here, so I deleted one.

I am refinshing the entire guitar with French Polish. There is a black spot or 2 in the binding I want to color. Would you recommend this type of lacquer or something else? Anything alcohol based I suspect might dissolve with the shellac finish. Thanks for any input you can give me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565414776004223229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396160690189969206.post-64017923911800126952016-02-02T16:22:26.541-05:002016-02-02T16:22:26.541-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565414776004223229noreply@blogger.com
