SprocketBoy Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 OK FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mother nature cuts me a break down here in Houston and knocks the humitiy down so i can finish my 540P material top. Now...a problem iv just ran into...i think im spraying the on the guitar(material and painted sides) my clear coat and it seems the material is soaking the clear like its thursty lol. Is this normal being that i just have to apply alittle more than usual coats to a material top or have i goofed and need to use a different clear(top) coat. Im using Plasti-Kote clear spray.

Three_Views Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Although I cannot offer a direct answer, I have some questions which may help you determine what is going on: -How did you adhere the material to the guitar? -What adhesive did you use? -Is the clear coat being absorbed on the painted sides at the same rate as the fabric?

LGM Guitars Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 out of an aerosol can, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes you a good 15 coats or so to fill the weave. Fabric will absorb alot, and aerosol is the thinnest mix of paint you will find. Spraying with a gun is much simpler, you can lay on a heavier coat without fear of runs like aerosol, I'd say just keep applying it, then sand it lightly to level it, you'll know when you hit the fabric if you go to far.

Brian Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 On Material jobs it is nothing for me to do 18 coats on average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
