    I tried it once. didn't work very well for me and ended up sanding it off.

    DB says there should be no problem though just the neck finish dries a bit harder.

    Those scratches should come out if you polish with micromesh pads, cut and polish then maguires Scratch X

    Hi Adam. I've just finished a kit using dingotone which I applied starting late December and pretty much carried the process throught out summer in QLD. It's been sitting around 30 degrees average for a lot of that time which made the DT remain tacky but I just ensured a minimum of at least 7 days between every coat. Did 3 stain coats, 3 intensifier and 3 finish coats with about 15 days drying after final coat. As the guys said I changed from steelwool to wet/dry (except for a super light rub prior to waxing the body). I did get the 'blister' 'orange skin' effect in the process but the end result was smooth and worth the effort.

    I'm having great results using the neck finishing coats on the body - but I'm in Perth and have had some nice windows of low humidity. I have also tried to leave 5 days between this coats and avoided applying when humidity greater than 50%. I do find it hard to be patient and wait though -I'm currently in that 21 day window before final cut and polish.
