Binding Fix:

I recall Simon B having to paint the binding a cream colour on one of his builds due to cracks. I think he hand painted the binding.

I think I would round over the sharp edge and spray solid on the sides and burst on the front to cover the binding.

hey chaps been having new flooring put in the whole of my house today was 1st day I managed to get some work done. I got both bodys dyed and have done the burst on them the quilted 1 I used Rit daffodil yellow dye and Rit dye racing Red on the back and used a Baltic stain to do the burst I like a softer burst, I've put 3 coats of sealer on the back and neck over the dye which does darken it a bit, the salted maple 1 I've use Rit dye daffodil yellow on front and a very thin down mahogany stain on the back and a black burst.

I've only put 1 coat of sealer on the salted 1, 1 so far but will put at least 1 more on it the dyes are from their new line which work a lot better the salted 1 I have scraped out the old binding prick of a job to do and replacing it with the same cream binding which arrived today so ill be doing that before I set the necks.


I've had the 2k clear came as well so their both getting a 2k clear, its a new clear I've not used before but apparently its has a mirror finish so thought I'd buy a litre and try it so far they are going to plan the quilted 1 the Binding has some cracks but think I can touch the up I just got to color match it easy enough here some pic's of progress
