I am back to work again tomorrow. The way Aussie Post is messing with their staff I did not think the guitar would arrive today.....well I am wrong. I got a text saying it is onboard for delivery. Nice.
Off to the Green Shed and the Red car store....as I left the green shed my crusty old Holden crewman ute began to splutter and fart. It has done this before...and it was an ignition coil pack and a spark plug. I had my ALDI cheapie OBDII code reader in the car. Stop and hook it up and clear the codes....nope same thing. Cylinder 3 misfire. Last time it was Cylinder 4.
Oh well off to the Red Shed...they had my past purchase on their computer and gave me a coil pack and plug to match...yes I know I should do the lot...but I have paint to buy for the guitar. Can't do both....well I can...but it is not as good a story.
So I got some paper, some carbothane, a paint mask, primer, base coat, clear coat.
My mate is the parcel guy...so it will be here today....silly bugger stays out each day until he is done...can be some late nights for him.
These are part of the collection......(pics below)
One question......I have loads of Timbermate here....I intend to use the Cedar/Blackwood on the neck and fingerboard prior to stain and then the gloss Carbothane.
Is there any reason I cannot level the body out with it as well? I read the paint can, the Timbermate pot, and neither says you can't.
I also have some Feast Watson Sanding Sealer....not a fan of that stuff it sets like an epoxy. It does not say it can't be used under paint, but does speak mostly about stains. It does say it is interior only....guitar...interior....same thing to me.
Or, is the spray filler primer enough if I sand it well to 320grit?
