Oh yeah. Very happy to move on.Originally Posted by RocknRolf
I have a little more clean up to make sure there is no pigment on the binding. Once that's complete, give the whole thing (except the fingerboard) 2-3 coats of shellac.What are you planning for the next finish? (and sorry if it was already mentioned)
Things don't always go to plan, but the plan is for a solid color two-tone finish. I'll do the top and back of the body in cream and the sides and neck in a medium brown.
I have had good luck with MTN94 painting outside in the highly variable, often hot and humid temps we have in FL. It's also an acrylic so I can let it dry/cure in the house.
I was mostly concerned that the cream color is called "shining green" but my fashion consultant/daughter thought it looked more creamy the various whites and yellows on their pallet, and that it would go well with the coffee brown.
We did a lot of comparisons...MTN94 comes in 217 colors and I feel like we looked through half of them.
Trying a new clear with it. MTN makes a satin acrylic in a rattle can that I am hoping will go on flat enough to save me some sanding and should cure quicker than the brush on clear that I have been using up to now. If I am as happy with it as I have been with their rattle can paints, I'll use it for everything...but we'll see ;-)
