stoo Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Ok.. the top's dyed ,the back and neck are filled. I'm ready to start the clear. I'm going to be brushing it on. How the #@&* do you get the finish on all those sides and contours all during one application? It would seem that a horizontal surface makes for the best job so how, for example do you paint the back and top and sides without runs and drips? Thanx all!! stew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_ed Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I got another question for you. Did you use a water soluable dye, and are you using a water soluable lacquer? If the answer to both is yes, brushing on the lacquer will cause the dyes to run. Practical experience taught me this one. Guitar Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Ed. Yes I discovered that on my test piece. So I bought a can of the same stuff in aerosol form an did a kinda sealer coat with that first. That seemed to work great!! I'm using all water based stuff!

Drak Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Why don't you just continue to use the aerosol? With only one or two coats of sealer, you still run the risk of your brush coat melting thru your sealer coat and running the dye. Yes, the chances are reduced, but not gone.
