Wood Bleach Please HELP

[bunnygirl_2]

I want to bleach my new project but I don't know what to varnish/ wax it with so it will not go yellow. Its a doll so will be played with and used but it does not have to be child safe as its not a toy. I want a matt finish. I have not used wax before but don't want any transfer when the doll is dressed.Any Ideas would be great
thank u

I don't know about the bleaching part; the skin on mine is left the natural basswood color. But I use Deft Satin laquer spray or Miniwax Satin polyurethane wiped on ( and then wiped off immediately with a paper towel). After it's dry, I buff it a bit with a brown pape bag so it feels smooth.

Depends on what kind of wood. I have used the two-part wood bleach on butternut with really nice results (beard of a civil war soldier). If you're using basswood, why bleach?

Hey,BUn BUn you could try a whittle sodium hypochlorite or sodium hydroxide witch is "grannys lye soap" or my own favorite oxalic acid. this works real good. as far as a finish if it was mine i would put a hand rub finish on her.

Thank you all. Im using lime and want the finished doll to be very pale like a japanese doll. HOBO whats a hand rub finish?
STEVE : its lime. I live in the uk and its not so easy to get butternut here.

BuN bUn I know that you believe you understand what you think i worte,But Im not sure you realize that what you read is not what i meant. Try some deft it comes in satin and does great for what your gonna do. sorry for the confusion.

Bun, you might try some very thin acrylic. Build up the color to what you want, then use a liquid wax to buff after it's dry. This is a little different from bleach, but lime is fairly light as well. Just my 2 pence )
