actually if your trying to obtain a silvery weathered wood look on basswood , that effect can best be done use fiebings leather dye, a USA made product. <br /> <br />Use a 99% pure rubbing alcohol, called isopropinal.available at your local drug stores. 99% is preferred over 70% pure as it dries quicker. <br />Use your ink squirter into a 2 oz airbrush jar and put 2 ink squirters full of leather dye USMC BLACK. fill bottle with alcohol and use a hair type hobby bru***o apply and wait for it to dry. If this is nit the exact shade your trying to achieve just add a bit more dye until your satisfied. <br /> <br />The same process is also used when using india ink........best one to use is HIGGINS black india ink. It will give u a weathered brown effect not a silvery grey. <br />Test your mixes on scrap basswood <br />madmike3535 <br /> <br />.
