For anyone unfamiliar this stuff serves two purposes, one is to darken Pau Ferro and other fretboard timbers to a more rosewood appearance and also to give an open grain neck a grubby well played look.
This is what a 48 hour application did to an Pau Ferro fretboard on a Harley Benton HB-35plus.
The stuff is not cheap but I’d estimate that you could easily do a dozen or more guitars on a single tin.
Looks nice! Do you mask the inlays, or just wipe it off them later?
Thanks for posting. I’m going to look for this thing for my Tele. I have three guitars with laurel boards. Two are pretty dark, and only the Squier is too light to match the black body.
No masking but I did tape off the nut on one guitar and pulled it on the other. I would be careful with unfinished and roasted necks too, if there is an open grain it will darken it. Otherwise it a beeswax paste so it’s easy to manage and clean up.
No need to tape off the binding?
It’s safe for binding.
