ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I just sprayed some lacquer on a test piece and the finish was dimpled.I was just wondering if that is expected and more coats or thicker etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 it's called orange peel and is really hard to avoid with aeresol...you just need to build it up and then sand it level and buff it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 How well did you prep your surface? Translucent-did you use sanding sealer? Solid-did you use a primer? Was the surface baby smooth to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 After I put another couple of coats on it looked a lot better. So I started my Guitar. Being my first guitar,i never knew how much the translucent stain would jump out when you get some lacquer on it,I like it.

ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I get some pics weekend.Another question? What grain is used for leveling your finish?Also,what step comes after sanding?Assuming it's completely level.More lacquer or buffing? PS I would go looking throught the tuts,but my net service has turned to turtle mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
