Join Me in The Dark side, Luke I am your Dad.

I going to dye my fretboard as dark as I can get it, as black as a Raven, I have a few dyes to try, and a Masking liquid called Maskol, it's fantastic for those pearl inlays, paint it on, peel if off. Any tips on the dark side?

Black leather dye, forget the make but a search should throw it up.  @NancyJohnson did a post about it a few years ago and I tried it - worked a treat.

Best leather dyes are made by Fiebing’s, but be very careful - the stuff gets everywhere and is next to impossible to remove

Is this what I need Steve!?

That’s the one I was referring to, yes. Can’t guarantee it’s what you need, but I’ve used plenty of it in the past. Do some research into how to get a good even coverage - I use a sponge applicator when working on leather.

Yeah, probably do the same application with fretboard. Rosewood has a very open grain, and is a very porous wood, so I will be carefull...... any road up, can't go wrong with black,.... I have a few other dyes, I'll do samples, thanks Steve! your a Star.
