    Plenty of time! Would have been less if body didn't fall off the workbench and land face first on the concrete garage floor when doing a final polish. That set me back about 4 weeks or more. Best not to take count of time or how many coats as it is all a lesson in patience and perseverance. The build will eventually let you know when it is done.

    Oh, my. That is disheartening. Sorry, Waz. Was windy up here a couple of days back when I last laid the intensifier. Stood the body on its neck joint to catch a breeze -- which it caught too well -- and went for a tumble approximately a "cubit" to the rough tiles below. Never mind. A cubit is only about 18" and the body is only lightweight without neck and shiny bits. No apparent harm done and a small lesson learned along the way.

    How "sage"! I like this approach/sentiment/concept.
