Aaaah, noes. First coat of stain went.. not very well. Not only that it is pretty blotchy in a few spots (why the heck did I use the pre-stain then?!), but a dozen glue stains popped up, big and small. So out with the acetone!
Luckily, these went off:
I was able to remove a few of the glue spots, but not all. There are two small spots on the bottom that appear to be white filler. They don't take any stain at all.
Another thing is that a huge amount of scratches also started to pop up. I haven't seen those before and I have sanded the body very throughly! With 400 grids, though, because I thought it is already very smooth. Obviously not.
There is also a glue stain in the neck which appears to be molten plastic from the binding. Haven't had any luck with acetone.
Now... undecided if I should sand it ALL back, or do a second coat, or both
At least I like the color.
