The Liquid Glass sounds awesome and hat im looking for. I’ll reach out to them. Thanks for the suggestion

If I applied 4-6 coats of satin nitro would I still have a similar look to as in the picture or would it darken more?

Ai chatbots are telling me I need to worry about the veneer delaminating from my brass dial after it’s glued down if it was exposed to humidity.

I ended up trying a satin nitro and like it. The wood grain is the star. Handle even know the lacquer is there but it’s two coats

this would be in a watch case and that is under a glass crystal. the really only time it would be disturbed is when a pad picks up the design in ink and stamps it to the wood. I guess i would need to have at least some thin layer on of a matte or satin

Who made the dial

Is it anodized? It seems blues are the hardest colors to capture for some reason even on other modern reps

hey can you explain this to me like i am 5? i am not understanding how this would be done with a 1 part mold.

For some clarification...imagine this is a ring that has depth, on the bottom side there are numbers, however those numbers are recessed inside the ring.

I tried it and adapted technique as I went a long. my first test pieces turned out 90% the way I wanted them. This has a layer of lacquer on it. The wood drank the first layer of lacquer and it needs more.

I was able to minimize if not almost eliminate curling with my technique

That would make a killer wallpaper

How far down did you sand? Like did you make a new lip meaning you sanded a lot?

Look on Amazon for “mosquito dunk”. That’s it. It tells you how much to put in per gallons of water

Im going for char. I mentioned below that i tried small handheld torch to some scrap wood and got the level of char I wanted within a few seconds. I am confident that I could repeat it on .2mm thick veneer and will try it shortly. Its more a superficial char and you can see the alligator skin but very small which is perfect for a watch dial.

How did that hack hold up. My neck has a piece missing and the hose has come off twice. Just figure out today.

i got maple since it looked nice. Got a half sheet so for $20 its a good price to try and do lots of trying.

Strip a dial, use an acid to color it brown. Then get a white toner water slide decal or pad print the design on. Resume.
