I just don't know if the Cabots aerosol poly has an aging browning effect....or being somewhat plastic will it stay clear.

Maybe shoot some onto a scrap and see what happens....hmmmmm.
What's the edge taping trick? A bit more detail or a pointer to the thread would be awesome as I am about to wet sand and polish my tele.

I also don't know whether Cabothane spray can poly tends to yellow overtime. Because I was uncertain I ended up using clear lacquer on the neck because of the blue in the headstock decal.

As for testing on scrap timber, I guess it depends on how long you are prepared to wait before reaching a conclusion.
