Acousticraft Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I used this jig when I sprayed my ES335 semi-hollow and it worked to perfection for my new Strat project. The strat has a glued in neck as I like my guitars that way plus the sustain improves. The jig lets you turn the body to the required angle for both sanding and spraying. I can lay down a nice wet coat without fear of it running. I just bought the touch up gun with a 200mm cup and it worked perfectly once I tweaked the settings. The finish is Mirotone Microcat 1320 precatalysed lacquer with a 50% gloss and I sanded the body to 400 grit and lightly sanded with 400 between coats. The weather has been wet and damp and I have been waiting for several weeks for a day with low humidity. Today dawned a lovely fine breezy day plus the humidity had dropped way back so I went for it. I also installed a extractor fan into the shed window and it did a great job of sucking the fumes out. Now is the hard part having to wait for a week or so to wet sand and buff, polish etc. Cant wait! http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g111/One...Image0005-1.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g111/One...03Image0007.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g111/One...03Image0003.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
