whoofnagle Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I am in the process of finishing a guitar body and had a few quetions. The guitar has a mahagony body with a maple top. My original plan was to grain fill the mahagony (this has been done), then I was going to apply a water based dye to the top - following myka's tutorial (I plan on using Defts sanding sealer to help create a natural binding). This is wher my questions comes in to play- Once the dye has been added to the top: Can I then apply a Tung Oil finish to the whole guitar? Can I apply sanding sealer to the top in hopes of keeping the tung oil out of the water dye? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Do yourself a favor and buy this months Fine Woodworking magazine. It has an article on oil finishing that pretty much covers what to do when and how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
