    Carmine Gypsy Double Cut Set Neck

    Getting a gloss out of wubtone is like pulling chickens teeth.
    Doing the best I can with this Junior. None the less I am very happy with the colour.

    I think I may have figured out why I am not getting enough gloss out of the Wudtone Clear Gloss(with age tint). I am thinking the cotton swab I am using to apply it is too course. I am going to let it cure for a few days, then hit it with Super-fine 0000 steel wool and find a nice soft cloth to apply a couple more coats of gloss. then assess and if I am happy put it all together.

    For the gloss with Wudtone I followed some instruction I found in the Pit Bull forums how to build guitar guide. Basically this involved applying your Wudtone top coats, wait a week to cure then apply up to 3 very thin coats leaving a couple of days between each layer. Once you have applied the 3 thin coats wait another week to cure then buff with some photocopy paper. I have tried this technique with good results.
