    Doc you will have to test if the primer is compatible to go over the DT finish. Do a test somewhere under the pickguard. If it doesn't react then could save you sanding it back to bare wood and re-applying timbermate

    Good point Wokka, I'll make sure I do that before I do anything else, if it turns out that it doesn't react, that will save me a lot of time, so what do I need to look out for to tell if the primer is reacting to the Dingotone?, is it just going to refuse to adhere to the wood if it's reacting?, or will I get bubbling or some other weird behaviour?


    What I might do today is do a test of the Rust-Oleum Primer I have, and the Super Gold paint on a spare scrap piece of wood, to test the compatibility, if there's no problems that could save me a trip back to my local big green shed.
