I tried some black on curly maple and found out I need to sand it much finer grit. All I could really see where the sanding lines.

Yep, I can see some lines in pic, they are curved from the sander oscillaton...

Thanks,Cody!!

LOL

Damn you guy's! Now I'm hungry

OK guys, I started a chisel in the end of  the test pc of stained maple and glass , and then peeled the glass right off with no maple sticking to glass and no glass stickin to the maple.  Am I using the wrong dye? It was mixed 3 parts d n alcohol to one part liquid dye...

Have you ever tried that on a glue joint before.

I had a junk bow in shop and peeled glass on it. It tore filaments from glass all the way.

 

Wish I had some insight for you Kenny. I wonder if Stic used the liquid or powder Ritz (sic) dye. Maybe the liquid has a carrier/solvent that hindered the bond? Just guessing, the MSDS for Rit gives no ingredients.

I have used both liquid and powder. The blue green bow has probably has 1000 shots thru it. I really dont think the Rit is your problem. Not sure the chisel idea was a good test.  The all black one I just finished had liquid Rit. On spalted sycamore. That really soaked the glue and had air bubbles. Hence black. Probably 100 shots so far. Dunno

Interesting test I have been San bagging with interest I wish they made a dye you could add to EA-40 !  Then use it for the riser to !

Will try to get some pics up of testing...

I think I would do another test with same wood no dye. And use the chisel the same way. Then make a decision.
