    in Inlays and Finishing Chat

    Posted

    ok i'm noob but here it goes..

    1.cut out and sand you body{guitar body}

    2.use wood filler if needed let dry sand even and smooth

    3.use sand sealer for sure ..let dry then use 300 to 400 grit sandpaper and sand away all shinny spots dont go thur sealer{or try not to}make all smooth and not shinny..

    4.primer if need promer is so wood grain doesnt show thur paint and less base coat paint is needed..let dry sand with 400 to 600 grit

    5.apply base coat try not to do any sanding if practice paint it want be needed

    6.anything else needed befor clear coat likew other colours{whatever}

    7.apply clear coats{like 15 or more} then sand with WET sandpaper from 400,600,800 all way up to 2000 grit {dont go thur the clear coat{this is why you use alot of clear coat} be sure to sand over each previus{sp} :D sand marks

    8.buff and polish ...

  17. reranch sanding question

    from reranch its how to sand sealer but doesn't say dry or wet or what grain of sand paper any ideas?

    "next apply a high solid content sand and sealer product. Parks Corporation makes a nitrocellulose product which fills this requirement nicely. The application is simple as the sealer can be brushed on. Brush on the first coat and allow to dry for a few minutes. When the surface is flat (non reflective) a second coat can be brushed on. Allow this double coat to dry at least an hour (I usually wait overnight). When dry the coats can be block sanded flat. I suggest that this sanding be done in an area where dust is not a concern. You will see why when you begin sanding. I also suggest that you wear a mask. When this two coat application has been sanded flat (no shiny spots) wipe down with a dry cloth, inspect again for shiny spots and repeat."
