In Response To: Review: Solar Lux Wood Stain (Mrkim)

: Thinking about staining the next build. Is Solar Lux a good stain to use? I
: was favoring Blue Sea.

I've been very happy with the results from Solar Lux. It does eventually start to fade slightly, but generally holds its color well.

I will say that with the Sea Blue, plus several layers of glass and epoxy and multiple coats of yellowish varnish, the results were greenish. This is not the fault of the stain, it is very blue, but filter your color through enough amber colored resins you will end up with something yellower than you started.
