Yes, my sentiments as well. And owning a guitar that you don't even want to pick up is a horrible feeling.Quote:
Really sorry it hasn’t worked for you. I know how painful a bad finish can be, with all that wasted effort.

Or I've heard (not tested myself) that a layer of shellac will take anything you put on top
Or should go over any finish.

I also was going to suggest shellac (as it is usually my go-to) but not having any knowledge of the Solarez, I didn't put it out out there.Quote:

Given the blotchy delaminated appearance of the existing finish, I'm not sure if a shellac coat followed by a new clear (poly?) is going to hide it like poly over poly or lacquer over lacquer tends to do. Nothing to loose at this point I guess.
Mhhh. I do have some shellac here. But will the shellac stick to the Solarez? I also heard that everything likes to stick to shellac, but will the shellac stick itself? ;)
I'm pretty confident that the blotchy look could be fixed, it's gone when wetting the surface OR when putting another layer of Solarez on top - the problem is, that when putting on another layer, it's not going to look level, so you need to sand it - but after sanding, I get this blotchy look and it will not start to shine when polishing. I had a similar problem with polyurethane on my last guitar, so chances are good the problem is me. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Without being there, or you videoing everything you do, it’s impossible to tell. It’s probably not you though.
