So I think I am happy with the neck. I rubbed it with 0000 equiv. Scotchbrite this morning and was tempted to leave it at that! I have since applied another 3 coats and feel like I dont need any more.
The headstock on the other hand, needs a few more coats as I was using a non-lint/fibre free swab to apply and both front and back side were covered in fibres. Have taken back to bare wood and coated 3 times.
