I've had my ohana sk25 for a year now, and i want it to hurry up and look old.
I can't be bothered to 'relic' it, but can a regimen of 'simulated use' be taken over a long period?
For instance, oils and sweat from fingertips, would wiping that onto the top do much (after a while)? I noticed when i fingerpick my pinkie rests on the soundboard, what if every time i'm holding my uke i do some furious finger rubbing on that spot, eventually making a noticeable mark, etc?
How does a patina chemically happen anyway?
lemon juice? (although preferably not so drastic)
matt finish if that helps (seems to be kinda thick)
'DUURRRRRR just play it and wait 15 years.'
