![]() ![]() I’m not sure what technique people tend to use….either flood the india ink on, let it sit for some time (how long?) and wipe off (?).or…paint it on thin and let it dry. The second coat went on a little different, the ink was harder to spread and it seemed to be “setting up” quicker. I decided to use a clean, lint-free rag to wipe on the second coat so that I could rub the dye into the grain better. I painted the first coat of india ink on with a foam brush, wiped it off with a blue shop towel, let it dry and the results turned out pretty good although an additional coat would be necessary. Next I raised the grain: applied distilled water, let dry and then lightly removed whiskers with a 3M ultra fine pad, did this twice…grain really didn’t raise the second time…vacuum, compressed air, wiped with denatured alcohol and let dry….on to the india ink. Vacuumed and use compressed air between grits. ![]() I have a large 6’x3’ ash tabletop that I prepped for dye by sanding with a ROS from 80, 120,150 and 220…then handsanded 220 with the grain. I’m having some issues with streaks and spots that have appeared with my SECOND coat of india ink on ash.
