Thanks Chuck, I've not used TO before and would probably shy away from it for fear of the wrath of DingoBass!

Ha! I know I'm skating in thin ice - at least I only use a couple of coats!!Quote:

If you have already gone up to 1200 you may be destined for a natural looking neck.
Thanks Waz, it will be a natural neck anyway apart from the front of the headstock, so i might just polish away anyhow and leave it naked.
I see the naughty closet in your future!Quote:

I had some nozzle issues with the rattle can, so i had to let it dry and do a wet sand to knock that all back. Its gone through n a couple of spots but it is smooth now, just need to work on technique and remember not to spray in 30+ degrees.
I haven't even been in the shed for 4 days Washie, over 30 and so muggy you could carve the air. Considering my next job is headstock inlays I'm prepared to wait for a cooler day
Mate it's not so bad in The FrankenWashie lab, it's an under ground cellar, And the double brick an concrete keeps it more comfortable, still not ideal though. I imagine your shed on the Fabulous GC would be a fair bit warmer.
Okay, so we are now done with undercoats, and we have arrived at a suitably blank canvas.

We shall go shopping for some base colour to lay onto this one a little later in the week.
Nice, looks good. Don't fancy swapping this for my unsanded body, do you? 😀
