We use CA glue at work to develop latent fingerprints. Heat up a few drops in a sealed cabinet, and the fumes adhere to the oils and moisture left by someone's hand.

I have seen a doco on that, Swanny.
Bloody amazing how forensics works :)

You should see the indanedione-zinc solution in action!

Shows up fingerprints on paper, but you need to excite the chemical with a blue light, looking through orange lenses in a darkened room... real CSI type stuff.

You had me at excite the chemical with a blue light..... :p

People with chemicals often get excited when they see blue lights

Hopefully you work out a solution for the high gloss finish! The neck is looking marvellous!

Thanks Shazz.

I finished applying the naughty oil to the body and the neck on Saturday, so I'll leave it for a few days to let it cure a bit and then start cutting it back and try and get a gloss happening.

Now that the neck has been finished I can also try and get a glass-like finish to the findgerboard.

I left he body and neck natural as I thought that it would contrast nicely with the Rosewood fingerboard and the black scratch plate, but I am a bit disappointed as even for basswood it is a bit plain, but I'm not so concerned with the looks.

I haven't even finished this one and I am starting to assemble parts for my next build. Has anybody found a cure for GAS yet??

cheers

Can't wait to see the finish! I'm sure when it's all complete it will all tie in really nicely :)

Thanks Shazz, I don't think she will be one of my prettier ones, but hey, they are all special. And she will be my first fretless, so really looking forward to making a proper goose of myself.
