Hi Alkay, Used syringes to measure quantities of ink & water and then squirted each into another small round container that you can buy in packs of 8 or 10 at Woolies for about $2.50. Then proceeded to shake the mix for about 30 seconds to a minute and just ragged the stuff on with a cotton lint free cloth, in fact it was strips cut from an old T shirt which seems to work best as all the lint and fluff had worn off. Basically the same process as shown in the PBG Videos except the ink mixture is far more watery than DT and 1st coats are very thirsty so you need to have plenty mixed up ready to go. Also need to use those blue industrial strength rubber gloves as I got some of the blue ink on me when wiping down between 1st & 2nd coats and it took 3 days of scrubbing to finally disappear.Originally Posted by Alkay
The shielding paint used in the cavities was bought on eBay from Cat Music who I think are based in the UK. Copper tape is good and highly recommended for single coil PUP applications such as on Strat's & Tele's.
Here is a photo of the bottle...yet to fire up the Tele & J Bass as planning to do final wiring on both tomorrow, just been giving them a bit of a rest waiting for the necks to settle after taking up initial tension. Will let you know if there is any buzzing going on that would indicate a fail......the stuff worked a treat on both EX's builds as they use Humbuckers.
