refrain from tanning your RTG for too long durations. it might result in it being "over-tanned". causing the back to be really dark. once darkened, its irreversible...

I thought RTG need not need to tann, we onli tann the REDs to enhaunce the colour. If we tann the RTG, the back will be baked liao...

Guys...honestly i did once tann my RTG with Atinic Blue ( Phillip ) and seems to be working. The Gold Color on every scales looked more shiny. Pls correct me if i'm wrong....or it was only my own opinion.

Perhaps its true for those scales that already have shine. Tanning helps to bring out the colour even more. But for those parts of the scales where its still dark, no shine yet, perhaps tanning will darken them even more. Thus making the shine not easy to appear.

Personal experience for a piece of TY under constant tanning. :tounge_smile:

[Golden_Red_erik]

Wow...amazing...very very make sense and nice explanation.
Agreed that the result of this continious tanning will make the scale which was already dark become deeper.

By the way, anyone can enlighten me what aro can be tann and which aro need not be tann?

[Golden_Red_erik]

Bro...to be honest. I think such as SR, RTG, Hiback RTG that need to be tann. For the rest kind of Aro no need such a tann.

my personal oppinion.

SR tan top,side,bottom which ever you can tan.
XB,RTG,HighBack no need tan, if you want only side or bottom tan.
