Cheers Guys.

After 5 builds using TO as a top coat the outcome becomes a bit more predictable on each subsequent build. What I learned on Swampy was to wet sand frequently and once the thickness had built up use wet & dry grit paper to apply the finish diluted down. Still need to alternate with a rag now and then but when it gets super shiny, rag works ok just after a light W & D sanding but too smooth for the next coat. Applying with W & D grit paper takes a lot longer too but a lesson in patience does have it's rewards.

Decided to put the water transfer decals on today so that they can disappear into the multiple layers of finish yet to be applied.....

You could have used a transfer like this

Looking good Waz.. On the home straight now.
What font did you use for the Stingray word? I'm going to do something similar in gold, but on a black headstock.

Hi Ralph, I 'saved image as' from the MM Stingray webpage then copied that into an excel spreadsheet text box that allowed me to rotate things around a bit before printing on decal paper. Was hoping to lay a full sheet with lots of clear but ended up with some dust trapped in the clear acrylic coats and had to cut the logos out separately. The image was in a silvery grey colour and could not be changed. The fonts for most of these manufacturers have something that is just ever so slightly uniquely different to prevent easy copying. PM me if you would a copy of the saved image sent by email.

Cheers, Waz

One of these were close but ruled out once I had sobered up.

I like the idea to put the Pitbull decal on the heel of your neck. Smart and funny!

Progress shots......nearly there with another glassy finish. Maybe another week or so of applying 2 coats then light wet sand several times to bring it home.
