Great info, thanks guys..... I'm guessing the copper tape can be painted black too....

I didn't get as much progress today.... Just attached a dummy neck/handle in preparation for application of the black Timber mate to fill and pop the grain....

I did the damp cloth thing with water to see the if there was any glue or other weird stuff that I needed to address first and, lo and behold....

There are a few spots that I'd assume are glue between the sections.. sounds like wire brush or goof-off may be required there...

But more unusual is some quite large areas at the tail end of the body both front and back that have me a bit concerned..... Seems like there is something that's preventing the water wetting the grain.

Seems there is more hours of sanding to be done
