Finishing a maple fretboard

[king casey]

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.
