Grooooooveeeeeeee!
Glad you found your thread, i went searching through our data base to find your email so i could let you know.. But i am really quite a numpty when it comes to computor stuff.....
good move DB, it didn't belong in the welcome threads.
Look forward to you posting pics Calais, I'll hold off my clear coats till I see how yours turns out
Yeah i found it by accident Dingo lol.Prob still a week away wokka.placing order tonight.but will be getting straight into it.getting exited and havent slept for a week.allready have too many ideas for my next 5 guitars lol.
sounds good Calais, good work planning your next 5 builds !
So you ordering the ST-1 or IB-1 kit ? I still don't understand the chroming process you will be doing how it is applied ?
im doing the st1 for now being my first.The chroming is hard to explain but basically its pure silver trapped between to clear coats.the silver is suspended in liquid for and when acivated the silver sticks to a special basecoat and all the other stuff IE the liquid runs away.not probably theoretically correct but the easiest way to explain it.but yes it is real silver.its sprays on but not like paint (other than the basecoat and topcoat).Its the same process they use for making mirrors and has been around for years,but has been a big secret for many of those.But it isnt an easy process.Take lots of practice and im still not good yet.And everything has to be SPOT on.or it just wont work.I will try get a video of it when im spraying something.Its like magic!
yeah ok thanks for explaining that Calais, sounds like you better practice on some scrap wood. Would love to see a video when you spray the silver on
sounds cool and difficult, cant wait to see how it goes
shit the pressure is on now lol.oh well my first build so hopefully I dont bugger it up........but wouldnt really matter if i did right?......being my first build and all right?.....................Hhhmmm....woosaa.....wo osa...lol.It will be fine!
don't stress Calais, there's no pressure on you, first build and all, don't think there's too many on the forum that haven't had to sand back a body and start again !
