    You will need some sanding sealer too. Ash has a very deep grain and your gloss topcoat will look pretty lumpy without it.
    The rustoleum takes ages to go off, be prepared for a wait. It will stick to rubber until it is fully cured, a matter or weeks.
    The clear topcoat you have there doesn't get a great wrap, but you probably won't need it anyway as the gloss level will be nice on the colour coat anyway. I used it once and it didn't go off very nicely, stayed a bit tacky for far too long and didn't have the resilience of the colour coat.
    Give the rustoleum enough time, you will get a good hardwearing finish.
    If you are going to the big green shed, I'd use the Cabots clear on the neck. This one... the satin is lovely on necks.

    Agree, My first time with poly was on the recently finished resonator kit, I'm now a convert for the above link.

    Thank you sir, that guitar looks unreal u just finished!

    Btw you should only need one colour can for the body, swap it out for the white undercoat they make which will help fill the grain as well.

    Thanks for the warning, Andy, I knew I would forget something.
