Like I said I don't think it would be as big an issue if you were just doing it bright, because you wouldn't have much control over the wood as it is anyway. The issue with me was largely that I was after a very specific color with my dye, and it didn't really work out... I would recommend, though, that you make sure you do your trials with the same number of layers of glass as you intend on your final product.

When I squeegeed off the excess resin it was literally a sickly limeish-yellow in my waste container. If you didn't get that then I would say you've got a product better suited for a kayak than what I used.
