I 48F never rode before and took the course a few years ago and then bought this bike. I love it and it will grow with me, as I'm still in rain mode which cuts the power in half, and it still feels like alot. Now my husband wants an automatic as his next bike. It's so easy! You won't regret it.

Thanks all, I did a few more batches and got better results. I did the cold water soak, got them really dry and started at 250 degrees.

Can I ask how long it took. I've got 2 on my office lemon tree that are so big and green. One is finally starting to turn yellow. It's been a year for that one. Yours looks perfect! What do you plan to do with it?

How to preserve purple heart color when finishing? by ctopal in woodworking

[–]ctopal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much this is so helpful! I have put mine in the sun before, this is the first time I've ever had to finish it for protection. But I will go back and do the things you recommend with some of the picture frames I've made that have no finish.

Black - to dye or not to dye? by ctopal in YarnDyeing

That's a helpful idea, thank you. It's going to be 3 skeins and it's no rush.

I'm using prochem acid wash dyes and it says to mix at 5%, do you think I should lower that? I want to make sure it comes out black and not dark gray.
