    Final sand of sealer and removed the masking to see what I need to do to the binding. Most the mess came off with scraping (the edge was not as tight apparently as I thought. But here’s also some staining as the binding has tiny crack in it apparently. I didn’t want to use thinners on this as it would melt the plastic but a little diluted nail varnish might be the answer. If not I can live with it. It’s one of those things.

    Next remasters and get the satin clearcoats on the back sides and neck. This will probably be Monday now.

    That looks fantastic! I had the same issues with the binding but I don’t mind, I think it makes it look older.

    Yes that’s what I was thinking. I can live with it.

    No idea. Is the standard cellulose sealer we use on the jukeboxes at work. I ended up using this and the stains we use too. So much easier then the water based ones. There’s at least 3 coats of sealer rubbed back to try and smooth out the grain. Then sealed again and then blown in with a darker stain. I can find out the name of the product if you wish.

    one of the top unmasked. Before I scraped the binding. You can see where we had leaks. It’s a good job the top is going to be painted.

    Nah it’s still there. I’m treating it now as part of its home made charm
