    "Dog nuggets" more like.
    At some point you'll be glad that it happened as the second attempt will no doubt be an improvement.
    I'm always happier after having a second go at something.
    cheers, Mark.

    Yeah... some of it has definitely been improved, but I have made few different blunders 2nd time around ...
    Still moving forward though.

    Well here we are in a new year and the Mibanez is still hanging up in pieces.
    I decided to, (rattle can), nitro the body, and have been going at it disparately, since before Xmas....
    Eventually I felt it was good enough to start polishing, but on close inspection (and thought), have decided another couple of coats of nitro would be wise. Surprised at how thin it goes on !! Very conscious about sanding or polishing through.

    Hopefully I'll get the extra coats on over the next w/end or so, and then let it air for another week or two... then start the polishing.
    Once again... looking forward to just finishing this one, and assembling it to play.
    I'm planning to dry sand, very careful and VERY lightly before the cut and polish.
    (My sloppy and far too wet sanding on the Mossie led to some unfortunate blemishes. Definitely not letting that happen to the 'Nez) !

    Don't tell my Missus, I've already ordered a 'tele, with plan in mind, to stain and oil.
    Although I am going to hold off on the Flying Vee for now ... (for now...)...
