Finishing a maple fretboard

[colin2121]

Can I get some suggestions on what is best for finishing a maple fretboard.

Has anyone ever used White Knight spray acrylic?

Thanks

Co-incidentally using it on my current refinish on the Squier Bronco.
I will definitely be leaving it to dry for a couple of weeks.
The body is undergoing a new paint job and will probably also get a White Night clear gloss.
Pickguard material will probably take forever to show up so there is no urgency.



cheers, Mark.

Thanks for the info Mark.
Can I ask how many coats on the feet board are you doing?

Hi Colin no worries. I've done about 4-5 coats with a light sanding with 400 grit in between.
To knock off the orange peel and bury the decal edges.

Not shown in the picture is that I have removed the frets.
I appear to have gained an obsession with 7.25" radius necks.
This is the 4th one in production at the moment with 2 completed.

cheers, Mark.

Check out Sydney Guitar Setups, they have a product line called Wicked Witch which is nitro lacquers including clear yellow tinted ones that may tickle your fancy as well. I've used them and found them to spray pretty nicely.

Didn't SGS relocate to the south coast a few months back?

Yep but from what I recall the postage wasn't outrageous for the order I did.
