Robbo's TL-1TB

[Rockfactor]

Hmm...







Thought I did everything right. Wet it down looking for glue spots, the whole bottom of the front is a giant glue smear.

The dye will not penetrate some areas around the outside and the grain on the back just looks wet and dirty.

I'll give it a few days to dry, sand and paint.

Robbo.

I know your pain there Robbo.... I had a partscaster Tele build do pretty much the same thing to me. A DRparts sealed Alder body doesn't take stain well at all...It actually came out looking so much like faded denim that I decided to turn it into a real denim covered Tele. Still working on the process of combining the denim and the binding into something that looks and feels decent, but the intent is certainly there...

Keep at it, and you will win eventually....
