Well, I guess my prep work from the beginning was subpar.
Major setback. I used the recommended Mohawk Seal and Sand after sanding and staining. Apparently I didn't get enough product over the top to properly fill subsequent grain holes.
It looked GREAT!
The color coat went on fine, satisfied.
The layers of lacquer from a rattle cans went on fine.
Then, as I went along, bubbles appeared. And appeared.
I drop filled and lacquered over and relatively corrected with good results.
On the 3rd coat of clear lacquer, the bubbles were huge! They ate down to the grain. I realized I'd never get the open grain holes to fill.
I watched as I dropped fill my color into the holes just bubble like Champagne.
I got to strip the top down and start over.
Heartbroken.
The color changes in different light.
I got a bit of bite when clamping in the neck, I think that can be repaired with lacquer as I go along.
