Has anyone ever stained a Bucky with gel stain and if you did what color did you use and what were the results? I am wanting to darken my Bucky to a rotten color.

Frightners, wonder what color gel stain he is using? I may try his technique, just unsure the color for a rotten, old look.

There is a number of links at the bottom of that page, I'm sure there is a link that will give you an answer.

I'll know what Kevin uses after this weekend.

I used the Walnut gel stain on my Reaper and mache corpses. Here's what one on the corpses looks like.

I've also seen some very creepy skulls aged with the Mahogany stain.

Hi PeeWee- My favorite is Min Wax Gel Stain Aged Oak color. It gives a Bucky a nice freshly dug up look.

Spar brand dark walnut. My first corpse so don't laugh but good enough that the neighbor ladies asked me to take it down from the front yard as it was scaring the little (2-3 year olds) kids when they drove by during the day :devil:

Figured it out I think. Picture was to big, you can make him out behind my FCG.

Thanks Everyone

I found walnut in minwax gel stain at Lowe's so that is what I am going with on the first Bucky. I also plan on getting some mahagony and trying that later. Once I get them done I'll try and post a pic, again thanks everyone for the info!
