relic patina dye, to enhance guitar ageing and lacquer crazing - 75ml bottle
If you are looking to turn your guitar into an authentic vintage guitar, Nitorlack Relic Patina is the perfect solution. By applying this product to a cracked or dented guitar, you will achieve an aged appearance by filling in and highlighting these flaws. If your guitar has parts of the wood with hardly any lacquer/finish left, you will be able to darken it without any difficulty and achieve the desired vintage look. Therefore, you can easily make your guitar look like it has been played for years.

Implementation guide:
It is recommended to combine with Relic Gloss or Golden Age lacquer. Once the guitar comes out of the freezer, the cracks will be more open. At this point the product should be applied. Simply apply a generous amount and leave for 5 to 10 minutes. Then use a clean cloth and wipe the surface until it is completely clean. As a water-based product it is easily removed, but if left to dry for more than 5-10 minutes it will be harder to remove.
Repeat the process 1 or 2 more times to get the product to stand out more in the wood and mark the cracks more.

Relic Patina can also be used to enhance aging of guitar necks:
- When applied to a rosewood or pao ferro fingerboard, it will darken the wood to the rich tone of golden age Brazilian rosewood with the look and feel of a very old fingerboard.
- Relic Patina will achieve a brown, worn effect to the back of a neck that has been sanded down to the wood, leaving a realistic worn-in finish

This product is water-based so it is non-toxic and won't attack any type of nitrocellulose finish. Still, using gloves is recommended because its an intense colour that will be hard to remove from the skin. One 75ml bottle is enough for one or two guitars.
