  1. I'm wondering if anyone could help me out here. I just got done with my last set of coats of nitro satin on my maple/maple neck (8 coats total). I'm going for an almost natural raw feel. My question is since I’m going for a matte raw feel, not glossy or shiny, how long should I wait for it to cure before I start sanding? Also should I wet or dry sand? And what grit to start and end with? Thanks for any help that you can provide
  2. Thanks eveyone who responded. I'll make sure I do allot of testing before I move to the body.
  3. Hi All! I'm a newbie to guitar finishing and to this site. I always wanted to build a guitar of my own and now I have a chance to. I have a new raw alder body with a new raw maple on maple neck, and I’ve been thinking about a finish for a long time and after reading the tutorial on "how to do a swirl finish", I decided that's the finish that I want for my fist project. I'm a little confused on the type of paint to use on it though. The following is the formula that I was going to follow, but I’m not sure if all the paints are compatible. 1) Deft acrylic lacquer sanding and sealer. 2) Dupli-color acrylic lacquer gray sandable primer. 3) Dupli-color acrylic lacquer white, (for the base color coat). 4) Plasti-kote Odds n Ends oil based enamel, (for the swirl). 5) Plasti-Kote clear acrylic enamel, (for the clear coat). Any help/input would be very appreciated. Like I said, it’s my first project and I want to do it right. Thanks in advance for any help.
