    Cheers, Trevor.
    It's quite deflating as you put so much work and energy into watching and wishing the coats to cure.
    5 or more coats of TO? Do you need that many?

    Curing frustration

    I got so frustrated with my first build and DT curing times that I'm starting again. Been waiting over five weeks for final coat to cure. Had it in my warm garage with an occasional light fan and it...

    Cheers Simon,

    I may have to get some tru-oil.

    I bought so some Carnauba polish wax, as I am low on DT wax, which says it drys to a hard sheen. Have you ever tried it?

    Thanks,

    Leif.

    Wax instead of final coat.

    Hi all,
    Has anyone tried DT wax or Carnauba polish wax instead of DT final coat?
    Eg. A few coats of stain, followed by intensifying coat and then wax?

    I am on my first build and DT final coat...

    I have clearly not sanded sufficiently on my first build. But I have gone ahead with the Dingotone series and waiting on the final coat to dry. I am probably going...

    Yes, I thought something along these lines might be the case. I swear I saw a PB video suggesting to take it to 1200 grit first. Anyway, would you sand with finer grits between layers of final coat...

    So, 400 or 1200 grit for neck staining prep?

    Hi all, I think there is confusing info out there on sanding neck to prepare for finishing. Do I take it to 400 grit or 1200 prior to staining?
    Cheers.

    I tried the sticky tape method and failed. The ink came off with the wet paper.
    Anyway, went ahead and bought some waterslide paper and it worked very well.

    Hi guys,
    Was there a solution to getting the sticky masking tape goop of the edge of fretboard? I have the same problem now.

    Hey Andy,

    Thanks for the reply.
    Nice job.

    So you reckon using just the Dingotone finishes would be insufficient?
    Do you seal the ink with lacquer as I have seen in youtube vids?

    I was...

    Home-made waterslide decals and Dingotone

    Hi guys,
    Has anyone made their own waterslide decals and used together with Dingotone stains on their guitars?
    How'd you go about it?

    Cheers,

    Thanks a million, Simon.
    Actually, the bridge is hard up against the routed edge near the low E. I guess I could file it or sand it a bit further?
    The neck is extremely snug in the pocket, no room...

    The strings do not align with the poles on the neck pickup (see pics). The neck seems really straight and the...

    Neck or bridge first?

    Hi guys,

    Is it a stupid question to ask which to screw in first - the neck or the bridge? I have seen their videos wherein one it is bridge and another it is neck.

    And at which point do you...

    Lefty first time strat build.

    Hi all,

    Got myself the strat type guitar build to start off with.

    I wish there was a better range for us left-handed folk.

    All good.
