So do you actually use it as grain filler as well? I don't know that I need much. I am guessing the back and sides are basswood on the ES body. Does not seem like it will need much filling and sealing. It's plywood like the top, but the top ply is a bit thicker than the top.Originally Posted by McCreed
It dries really quickly and can be used to grain fill the timber in the right conditions.
IMO, best sealer EVER
Would not have made a difference on this project, because I had to move the bridge and and fill in a number of holes...long story... But if I ever do another ES I am would ask Adam if he can get the top with the same top-ply as the back and sides. On the two ES bodies I have had to play with, the the flame maple veneer is just way to thin and easy to damage for a ham-handed person like myself.
Cool as the flame maple tops are, the old makers did not use it. I suspect there's a reason for that ;-)
