  1. hi. just started on my perfect it 2 fine cut after sanding with 1500 grit. i found some pin holes on the finish. it is quite unsightly, could anyone tell me how to remove it? also, if i have some sand thro, wat it the best way to cover up? i tried to spray the spot with the color again, however, the color that appears is lighter, and looks uneven as a whole guitar. im asking because some idiot drop it, and there is a chip which i filled up with wood fillers. now im trying put the color back in. damn it
  2. Hi. i've got 2 qns. 1. When wet sanding, do u lightly sand it, or put quite some presure while sanding? The key shld be just sanding flat, and getting rid of shiny spots correct? I dont think we shld want any deep "cuts", am i rite? 2. How long shld we allow the guitar to dry from our last coat before starting on the polishing process? I hang my guitar for a week after my final coat, and when i lay in on my bed, u can actually see the design of the fabric printed onto the clear coat, like woven pressed onto it. How much longer should i wait to be safe? i mite have put on a heavier coat. any way to make it dry faster? hair dryer?
  3. thanks buddy. any alternatives to 3m? its kinda expensive and hard to get from where i live. I read abt the slick-shine that auto tech offers, has anyone used them before? http://www.svlg.org/news/april/polishin.htm
  4. Hi, im currently in the final stages of my clear coat. need some advise. do i sand the clear every time i add a coat? or do i sand it after a several coats, like what i read from stew mac? also how much sanding is needed? just to make it flat? I sanded through a couple of times. After the clear coats, i plan to wet sand from 800 to 1500, cant get my hands on the 2000 grade. will it make alot of difference? also i read that brasso can be used. do they yield the same results? or its better to use a swirl remover? im after that gloss finish, but dont plan to buff it, lack of eqpt. any other gd alternative? currently, my plan is to finish the wet sand from 800 - 1500, then use a white cotton cloth (reraunch said red is not needed) to rub it in circular motion. Then i will use Finesse It by 3M. Any other products i can use other than the Finesse It? Sorry for the long post.
