    Cheers. The kit arrived at home today so I will see it tommorow and hopefully I have some good veneer to work with.

    It is a super veneer now to get some goof off. So I am prepared for Xmas.. I Am thinking of inserting 2 balloons in the f's and inflating them. So no spray gets inside. Any better ideas?

    You could go to your local cheap shop and get a couple of jumbo car washing sponges and push them in through the neck pup opening. I then put some brown craft paper over the top, that way you can change the paper as necessary after sanding.
