yes, I do have a little of both. I'll take the top coat off tomorrow and make the call on whether to re apply the dt stain and intensifier again. I did really like the result of those so if there's a...

Cheers for turps tip, I have a follow up query that I haven't come across previously. Over the last three days, the stain has noticeably faded in colour and intensity, especially on the top. The body...
I've ordered some truoil and we'll give it a whirl. Looks like a weekend of sanding :)
cheers Waz, your guesses are pretty good ones. I will leave it another week but if there's no change, I will attempt to remove the top coat. I'd be reluctant to reapply it so I may go down the tru...
cheers, will do
Hi
I have a Kariinja first final coat that doesn't seem to want to cure beyond a mild tackiness. It's been on for three weeks. I'm in Victoria so not particularly hot/cold/humid etc. Can I...
I'm an ultra purist so..... I really like it
I am in the middle of using Karijini red on my rcm12 build, neck and body. It's mahogany and I think basswood is of similar density/porousness. The only prep I did was a pretty basic sand and then I...
I'm gluing the neck in on my RCM 12 today, it ticks so many boxes in terms of the iconic 12 string. Just leaving aside the Mahavishnu Orchestra dreams.... The Mahogany is lovely
It's my first set neck attempt, so I'll be cautious and do some finish work prior. I'd never have thought of the glue seeping in but of course under pressure it would. Thanks again as always
There is indeed a 12 string version, I'm about to start staining mine after the hot weather passes
Awesome info, gives me a plan of attack. Cheers everyone
Hi. Just would like to gauge opinion on whether setting the neck before filling and staining is advisable or not. I am planning to use the same finish on both neck and body and they are both...
Dr Feelgood fan eh? You have very good taste! Just at the mockup stage of a build here so I'm all eyes and ears, so much great info on here
Thanks for this, I'm learning so much. I'd not considered applying finishes etc before attaching the neck. Is there a definite advantage? In my mind at least, I'm thinking that getting a good even...
The nicest amp for home use I've seen recently is the Vox ac4, which has three power settings so it can get quite low in volume and still sound ok. It's a tube amp, but has plenty of headroom so it...
Very happy to see this, I've just got the RCM 12 unpacked and ready to go. I'm planning to use ebony timbermate too, just to get the most out of the grain, but nothing too extravagant, then using the...
Looking great so far, thanks for sharing. Just got my first set neck kit today. An RCM 12, always wanted an electric 12. What do you plan to use for glue?
Wow, that's the exact finish I am mulling over, looks just great thanks for sharing
Hi there, I've decided to stretch out with a PB ricky 12 build, mahogany body. Looking for inspiration with the finish. My inner Peter Buck is at war with my inner McGuinn. I'm leaning towards a red...
