Another good day.
Started off today with some 0000 steel wool over everything, then naptha, then tack cloth.
Finish - Holy smokes, if I knew a few short weeks ago what I know now about spraying, I would have saved myself a lot of time. I'm getting better at not getting runs in the finish.
Newbies - The horn is your enemy for runs in the finish. Don't overspray the horn, or you will be sad. Just like with women, those seductive curves will get you.
Today, I got the light Behlen maple misting on the neck that I meant to do the first time. This is hard. Be careful with that stuff. If you move your hand unsteadily, it will cloud up and go on thicker in certain places. You will be tempted to come in then and blend, but don't do it. The stuff darkens up after a few hours. Walk away from it, take a break.
This time, I held back, and I am pleased with the results. Between a light misting of maple and the slight yellow of the shellac sanding sealer, I have a slightly less than ghost white neck, which is just fine with me.
Then I blasted the neck and the body with 5 good coats of nitro.
Good times.
Cheers,
Motor
