I'd like to use ebonized walnut as edge trim (3/4 x 1) for the shelves in an entertainment center.
However, my experience has always been that there may be a few mil offsets between the trim and the shelf. Typically, a few swipes with a scraper or plane and everything's good.
This is fine with bare wood. Dyed wood, different story. The dye doesn't penetrate much more than a few mils and scraping may remove all color. Not a good solution.
I tried dry fitting the trim and cleaning the offsets up before dying and gluing. This almost works.
Does anyone have any better suggestions? The best would be "do this to get through penetration with the dye."
tnx
