Hi Jody, a light steel wool between all coats can help remove any high points and any fluff from the rag that has stuck to the body. For the neck just use the neck top coat if you have a neck kit, the neck kit top coats generally cure a bit harder for the work a neck requires.

Hi,
Can someone help me! I've used Dingo tone stain on my TLA body only to have the stain bleed through the end grain now I have runs
Showing up on the front and rear face of the guitar. The timber seems not to want to take the stain evenly. Is there anyway this can be fixed i.e. by applying some form of thinner to even out the coating?

Any photos George? Hard to say from your description.

Hi George,
Like Brendan said Its a little difficult to know without seeing pics. Were you attempting to have the top a different colour from the sides? or were you just staining all of the body one colour?
It is true that any stain will take more (ie be darker) on the end grain rather than the top. Its like clutching a bunch of straw, it will soak up more on the end.
You can simply sand the DT away where you don't want it though.
