A cold but productive weekend
But before we start... Frusciante is back with the Chili Peppers!!! Just throwing that out there lol
So where did we leave off... Oh yes the neck had just been glued and it seems to be holding well since the clamp was removed. All copper work completed and the second round of tarnishing finished. Really happy with the results again this time. Less tarnishing on the 'wings' as forearm would keep the upper clean and hands fiddling with control knobs would keep the lower clean. Added a couple of quick coats of clear satin in a cold shed with the aide of a gas heater to heat the surface and a tub of scalding water to heat the aerosol paint and no milky bloom. Lacquer was drying as it was contacting with the surface which is a nice way to get a good finish in less than ideal temperature conditions - snow falling outside. Only did the headstock and copper top of the guitar.Was the only way I could see that I could stop the tarnishing and protect the surfaces while other jobs continued. Will need to get in somewhere warmer to spray up the rest with lacquer once I get off work for the holidays.
