Oh I see, I shall disavow any knowledge shall I?

Probably best if you do, I don't fancy a paddlin from DB, I'm not into S&M

Pictures, pictures we need pictures.. I can't wait to see this project completed..

As requested, but in reality not much to see.

Burst still to be done and the binding scraped, I couldn't find pinstriping tape anywhere but did find a fine masking tape at "that place" that has done a pretty good job.

The top was masked off with greasproof paper and normal masking tape before the binding was masked off so there was no over spray onto the top.

Had planned to break out the airbrush today but "the boss" has suggested I might like to do some work on the weekender



Note: the white spots that appear on the back when enlarged are definitely not on there so it was either something on the lens or a PB oddity

Hi Dave, I reckon the top looks just fine and if mine wouldn't fuss about doing a burst.

[dave.king1]

It does look good Waz but there are some very small patches of Black Stump that got through the CG that the burst will cover.

Definitely passes the 3 metre test as it is, I'll give the airbrush a run on some pine that has CG on it and if I'm happy and confident I'll push on with the burst, otherwise it will be what it is

[wazkelly]

Cool, hope it stops giving you grief.

[dave.king1]

Well you have to fight with a Tele to make it sing and it is obvious you have to fight to build the buggers too

[wazkelly]

Well best you keep on punching away then.

Had a bit of a play with the airbrush today and I'm pretty happy with the outcome, obviously need to flat it off and feather the burst edge a bit more before clear coat but at least it's done
