Dugz Ink Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 My gunsmith mentor always used automotive rubbing compound to make the wood finish feel extremely smooth, then he would wax the gun stock. It feels incredibly nice, and it gives the finish a sweet surface that is some where between high-gloss and semi-gloss finishes. But guitars typically get handled more than gun stocks, so I'm wondering if this trick will work as well on guitar necks. Has anybody used automotive rubbing compound to make their guitar neck silky smooth? D~s Quote

I then spraye dit with Dunlop 65 guitar polish and its VERY smooth. Quote
Devon Headen Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 And there's no problem with the wax getting sticky after long periods of play? Quote
AlGeeEater Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Nope, not sticky *at all*, suprisingly. A lot of folks say they do but mine dont. I think maybe because i use the Dunlop 65 afterwards... Quote
