DJP Build No2. LP-1S

Argh. Help !
Geez one of the pieces of info I had was you could use nitro over Dingotone, but not Poly.
I have attempted to sand back - but I see I am an now starting to go through the veneer at edge-so its paper thin. Luckilly the thin edge is not visible at moment.
Really not sure what to do..
The nitro went on back of headstock just fine - looks great.
Maybe its the maple veneer. Its smooth as now though!
The Nitro definitely "stuck" ...it was just the orange peel texture on the surface.
Maybe I Should just put the Decal on now that it is smooth, and try to build up enough coats- enough to be able to sand back any surface texture without damaging the decal etc.
Really don't know what to do.

You could always give the headstock a wipe over with metho or thinners to get rid of any oil residue, then when dry a very, very thin test coat of nitro to seal it. check for any reaction. If not leave for a day then another very thin coat of nitro. let dry then sand with 600 grit very very lightly. Put about 4-5 thin coats on if no reaction, lightly sanding between coats. Then try decal when very dry, about 3-4 days, again with very thin coats. the orange peel effect is usually from a too heavy coat.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. All advice is gratefully received.
That sounds a good idea.
i have just sanded back quite a lot.
Odd thing is - last time, I actually managed poly over Dingo tone and got a great headstock finish.
It wasn't so good on the back of the neck- but when i sanded it back slightly - I got the loveliest silky finish ! I guess sometimes things that shouldn't work do !
