    But seriously, 12 hours between coats should be enough unless it is cold and humid... oh wait... that's Melbourne on a normal day

    I must research this further... Just need 34 hour days to fit everything in ATM...

    i'll get the UV lights, already have the guitar, just need the Dingotone! Taylor use a UV process on their guitars. Gives them a glossy finish but much thinner which allows the wood to breathe more (on their acoustics)

    Good BAS (Bass Aquisition syndrome) or bad BAS (the other ATO one)?
