Nostrildamus strikes again

Not wrong, Doc..

CA glue was first invented to be used to close small cuts etc on the battlefield, hence its amazing ability to bond skin....

We use CA glue at work to develop latent fingerprints. Heat up a few drops in a sealed cabinet, and the fumes adhere to the oils and moisture left by someone's hand.

I have seen a doco on that, Swanny.
Bloody amazing how forensics works

You should see the indanedione-zinc solution in action!

Shows up fingerprints on paper, but you need to excite the chemical with a blue light, looking through orange lenses in a darkened room... real CSI type stuff.

You had me at excite the chemical with a blue light.....

[Dedman]

People with chemicals often get excited when they see blue lights

Hopefully you work out a solution for the high gloss finish! The neck is looking marvellous!

[robin]

Thanks Shazz.

I finished applying the naughty oil to the body and the neck on Saturday, so I'll leave it for a few days to let it cure a bit and then start cutting it back and try and get a gloss happening.

Now that the neck has been finished I can also try and get a glass-like finish to the findgerboard.

I left he body and neck natural as I thought that it would contrast nicely with the Rosewood fingerboard and the black scratch plate, but I am a bit disappointed as even for basswood it is a bit plain, but I'm not so concerned with the looks.

I haven't even finished this one and I am starting to assemble parts for my next build. Has anybody found a cure for GAS yet??

cheers

Can't wait to see the finish! I'm sure when it's all complete it will all tie in really nicely

Thanks Shazz, I don't think she will be one of my prettier ones, but hey, they are all special. And she will be my first fretless, so really looking forward to making a proper goose of myself.
