Sealing

Im building a tele from maple, i wannt a natural or blonde thin coat finish ( so the grain can still be seen.
Do i need to use a sanding sealer before painting and or clear coats.

Dan

From what I have read, yes.

good stuff as long as i get the grain im happy cos iv got some fantastic wood at the moment

You dont need "sanding" sealer. Any finish you apply will seal the wood. You can use your clear as a sealer.

I always use a vinyl sealer under nitro finishes. If you are using maple though, you can simply sand the wood to about 320 or 400 and spray a few light coats of lacquer. It will come out very nice, and thin.

Thanks for all the feedback.
Iv been looking up some of your threads Colt.
Very nice work
