DING REPAIR / COLORING Q CELL

Archive 1999-2004

I’m in the process of fixing up an old board for a friend, it has some deep dings that need to be filled. The problem is that, because the board is old and has yellowed and also has much water damage, If I fill the dings with straight Q Cell, the white of the fill will stand out too much from the surrounding area. Anybody have any tips for pigmenting or handpainting the Q CELL to match a yellowed, water stained board. Thanks in advance P.B.

HI P.B. Consider cuting into the blank deep enough to let in a foam plug gluing it in with lam resin mixed with glass Q cell or glass bubbles make it the glue lines fairly closet to the foam in color. Then do some experimenting with resin tints and arcylics to get as close as you can. Herb’s ideas are right on too. Good luck, Rich

It’s your eye against everybody else’s,so think of what will happen when you add glass and hot coat + a gloss coat maybe.And polish.My point is…After color it all turn’s to something else. Color wise that is.Air brush,wow. I saw a friend air brush a board so it looked like is was really old.DING’S AND ALL.It was a fine work of art.You to can do magic.Not mircale’s.Time is on your side.J.A.
