Ken Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I got a shot neck on a 90's telecaster from a friend. It had long green streaks in the maple neck where the nickle leached out into the wood. It did not look good. I pulled the worn out frets and sanded down the face. I then used oxaylic acid to bleach out the nickel. I am ready to put in the new frets, so I am think about the finish too. I only sanded off the finish on the finger board. If I mask around the edges, do I have to be worried is a tiny amount of the nitro overspray?(The boundary where my masking isnt necessarily perfect. I intend to use(all from guitar reranch): aerosol sand and sealer. tinted clear coat aerosol and then their nitro clear coat last. I dont want to make a mess. I just have heard horror stories about MIM poly finish and luthiers refused to fix it due to health risks. I wore a mask while sanding. I'd appreciate any advice.

Bertbart Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I seriously doubt you'll have a problem but if you should have a problem...What's the worst that could happen? You 'd have to strip and shoot the entire neck. In my opinion that's no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
