Howdy,
I was hoping if there was anybody out there that had any experience using dyed coloured veneers?
I've been using them for a little now in my marquetry projects and I've been experiencing bleeding/contamination from darker colours into lighter colours (usually the green into the yellow and orange) during the final sanding stages (using an orbital sander with vaacum attachment). I have tried vaacuming and even air compressing the bleed out but to no avail.
I have been researching this problem for a while and the only source material I came across was a marquetry book which advised to use a sanding sealer to seal the pores so that the dust was unable to penetrate and therefore contaminate. However, I finish my projects with danish oil and I don't think the sanding sealed would allow the oil the penetrate.
Anyone out there got any advice or better still experience in this problem and a solution???
Cheers
