[RBW] shellac on brown tape

2016-01-03 Thread Aaron Young
I think I see small bits of amber shellac at the ends of the tape (near the twine and on the right bar end shifter). It's possible with amber shellac the tape was originally a much lighter color. Tan or gray maybe??? If you have some left over bar take, maybe try a bit of clear or amber shellac

i also sort of doubt that that was brown tape. Gray or orange with several Amber coats is my guess. Anyway, to second the motion, adding clear over amber, or vice versa, gives a lot of tonal range -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"
