Yesterday I got the frets done. They were actually very close to even and didnt require much work. I also got the sanding sealer sanded and the body is ready for me to spray the clear nitro. Hopefully I've done enough work to get a nice flat surface, particularly with the Ash. However if I can feel a little tiny bit of the grain I'm not too bothered.
I was hoping to spray the first coat of nitro clear today but decided that it was too cold here in Canberra to spray so I went on with adding a couple more coats of tru oil to the neck and gave it a bit of a rub with steel wool to see how it was feeling and then watched the AFL grand final. WCE premiers for 2018!
The neck so far has had 5 coats of tru oil. I'll do only a couple more and then give it a bit of a polish with 0000 steel wool to give it a smooth satin feel and I'll call the neck done as I prefer the satin feel to a high gloss finish.
