Yeah ... Crap ... I hope I haven't messed it up ... But if I have, I only have myself to blame I guess ...

Well, on a lighter note - if I do have to redo it one day, at least I'll have a cool little project to look forward to in refinishing it!

In actual fact, the coating is pretty thin ... I may need to add more over time and thicken it up for protection.

hey Darryl you should be ok if the coats have been thin and there is heating in your house. I'd leave it for a few days before you apply the next coat.

When its done, I'll upload a sound clip or video of the finished product. Some of my music below if anyone is interested. Just me noodling around a bit!

You may just need to give it a few extra days to cure properly mate. I've three builds curing at the moment betwen coats of Dingotone Finish. Its like the song says. "The waiting is the hardest part"

Yes, yes it is. We don't judge, we help and where needed we commiserate and console. and tell bad jokes. Many, MANY bad jokes. and thread Jack. lots of thread jacking.

Darryl you are officially ordered to cease.....artist....musician....and now sufferer of G.A.S. (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) via building.

You are warned that accumulating so many skills will not be permitted as the mere mortals left behind will be confined in their sheds with hands on wood with sandpaper stains dyes and paint.

Love the finish you are getting on the axe. The music is awesome and the artwork screams tradition at me....nice. 😎
