Well The wenge side plates came out of my bender with some very bad staining in some places. I don't think that I used too much water (just spritzed with a sprayer) and they bent well, but stained badly. idunno

It appears that they lost some colour in places and got darker in others, kind of splotchy looking. Has anyone run into this problem and if so, how did you fix it? I'm wondering if even the light spritz was too much? gaah

Thanks,

Cal

Thanks Michael, I wasn't sure if the stains were just on the surface, but it seems that they do sand out OK. bliss

Thanks again,

Cal
