OK,
So the next trick is to drop fill the pock marks and the low spots.
After the lacquer is dry, I can spray on a few more coats and do a final sand before the 2 final gloss coats.
Here is the tool, a chopstick. I buy these by the 100 pair pack as I use chopsticks 98% of the time to eat (lost a bet in 1974). They work really good for moving wires in a tube amp to see if the hum goes away or if there is an open....Keeps the high voltage at bay....You dip the stick into the lacquer in the can and then quickly to the low spot and let her drip off.
Using some of the Deft from a quart can and if you look really close, you can see the drops of Deft on the body in the reflection on the left bout
