I also suspect that anything that works for you will work for me as well ;-)
    There aren't so many products available in India as in Australia or Europe Or USA. So i may have to find a way to do these with what ever that's available which may or may not suit the Humidity and Heat in chennai in india.



    My 1k PU clear Rattle can spit out clear unevenly yesterday as I forgot to clean nozzle with thinner before spraying . Can I do more clear on this or do I need to sand and then clearcoat it again. This is just my 2nd coat of 1k clear out of rattle can.. If i need to sand what grit should i use?

    Please do advise

    I realised that it was just solvent pop. So i allowed it to dry and then sanded back lightly with 600 grit and wiped with thinner

    The I did another coat of clear and now it's looks much better



    I hope this Is sort of ok

    Iam into 3rd coat of clear and it though has some shine, it is not turning out to be Glossy. It looks like more of a misty clear coat

    It looks like this now

    Am I doing anything wrong. Am I spraying from too far?. Should i spray more thicker sort of a wet coat? Or will the gloss come after I sand the whole guitar with 600 grit after 3 more coats and spray again?

    Kindly experts here do let me know.
