I don't quite understand what I'm doing
I have 8 coats of lacquer that has a few bumps but it's enough.
So what do I do know?Sand it or let it cure before I sand it or did i miss something
-
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.

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.
It's a rounded out warlock idea.

Ever see those patio greenhouses with covers.They're only 4 feet tall?40 bucks or so.Cut a hole for a vacum and seal it.Then take the shop vac and place it outside your window.I have one and I'm gonna try it out

How big should the bolt on holes be drilled in comparison to my bolts?Should they bolts bite into the body too or just the neck?
Also I made a two piece quatered maple neck.Is there more danger of it splitting when you go into them?

Why would people be bidding up to $40 for a bc rich neck plate on ebaycanada.All it has on it is a serial #. Are people making fakes?
-
I've decided to eye it up and hand carve eaach hole with a shovel
-
i am done with body and I was wondering if I drill my string holes before I lacquer it or after.
Also,what grain sandpaper should I use after and or between lacquer coats?

It's too bad the pickups don't write and play the music.Otherwise every spoiled kid in the world would have his EMG's writing tunes like James (used to).
PS I HATE EMG 81s.i hate all active pickups.they stink.Also,how many people do you think went out and bought Emgs just because of james?Emg Made a lot o $

I was watching Norm the carpenter guy on pbs.He had a 6x6 or something.
He cut halfway through it with a jigsaw.What kind of jigsaw can cut halfway through something?Just like a circular saw would.

I have a friend who does auto body work who gave me disposable masks
(willson saf-t-fit N95) for spraying aerosol lacquer.
He says they are okay for lacquer.
Are there any all natural hard resin finishes?

It's a translucent finish.I guess I'm wondering when you sand lacquer and it gets cloudy,do you put another coat on or do you buff it out?
