I am still going with this thing and still slowly sanding and applying the glue to get it all perfect before I spray it.
Despite what some have suggested, I have purchased clear satin however, I am still not certain if I should stick with it or go back to gloss. LOL.
My sales job has dropped to 30 hours per week from 44 hours now and we are running on 2 shifts - 2 days on and 2 days off in a rotating kind of deal. As my daughter pointed out to me the the other day, " the first day you work is always like a Monday and the second day is like a Friday before another weekend." Unfortunately it is now a bunch less money but hopefully the extra Gov't money should fill most of the gap. Fingers crossed though that none of us in our small team gets the virus. I don't think I have ever washed my hands so much in one day!
I am mainly working on the sides and edges right now as I remember on the last guitar, I failed to get this right and it took some extra work in the final sanding of the top clear. It's not easy with a deep grain ash body or course an even though I filled and sanded quite well, there are still a few areas where the edges are uneven have have to be filled with the glue more.
Anyway, back to it and I'll post a picture or 2 once the body has been sanded ready for its topcoat.
