Dual Build: GSJ-1 and GSM-1

[fender3x]

Semis are still going. Neck of one is with JimC, and lockdown makes it awkward/expensive to get back. Mainly finish to do, and it's still a bit on the cold/windy side for spraying outside.

I have the one US pint Aqua Clear container, and it's done a bass (twice because I messed up the first time), a Strat body and these two kits so far. Still enough left to do at least another guitar. £31 here, so roughly the same cost.

@ $55 AUS that is a steep price. Best price here (US) was directly from the mfg. It's $23.30 from them and $2 more on Amazon. The only thing comparable seems to be Crystalac, which was $20 for a half pint, and there are a lot less reviews of it. It pays to be unique! That may be cheap compared to the rest of the English speaking world, but is still about 2/3 what I paid for the body it will go on ;-)

I just ordered some General Finishes Dye Stain. It's water based, but has a binding agent in it so that it can be used with other water based products, and is also supposed to help control blotching. The mfg recommends putting it on bare wood, and not filling first. It looks to me like you may have done it the opposite way?
