Verdict: do not use this product.
For those waiting to use it, with the photos I just posted, I tried and failed to match the lighting. The difference really is pretty subtle. Just a bit less orange, which actually suits me fine. To get it darker I think I'd have had to follow the instructions about using naptha to clean the existing oils/polish off the fretboard first.
I've tried fret doctor and whatever linseed oil variation you're supposed to use (boiled? unboiled? lightly sauteed with garlic?).
I'm guessing this means there's already plenty of oil in the board and getting it sufficiently dried out would be unlikely.
Soooooooo
Super dry and rather pinky red Purple heart board on my Ibanez 7 ...
Some of the magic unicorn gloop ...
First application of a couple of minutes on the upper three frets ...lower three no treatment yet .,..
A couple more applications and a buff off ... and the fingerboard is doing a pretty good impression of ebony and feeling amazing ...
I mean like night and day ...
Stunning ... I'm a convert (oh the story of the black strings will appear shortly in the making and modding section)
Absolute convert as I said

Maybe send that on a tour of the UK so we can all try and compare?
