Jester Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I have this mid-range Rg (stain and clear) sitting here just begging me to refinish it. So I whopped out the paint stripper, but it didn't do a thing to the finish. So tomorrow I'm gonna start sanding the finish down , so do I -have- to sand it down to bare wood in order to get the fabric glued smoothly? All help appreciated!

Jester Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I've read that like 5 times and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't say anywhere to have the body completely stripped. Meh... since it was stripped in the tutorial I might as well do so too (and stop being lazy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 i've done several material finishes and you don't have to strip it at all. take some 180 grit paper and just sand until smooth. if there are any chips in the finish now feather them out so that they won't show. the sanding gives the glue something to adhere to and that's all you need. good luck.

Jester Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 That's what I wanted to hear... yesterday! I already sanded it down to bare wood (except the sides). Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
