got a picture of it? would like to see it Keloooe 8-)

with the top clear coat, after it has completely cured, can it be cut back like lacquer? then buffed with cutting compound etc ?

Hi AJ,

No need to cut back Wudtone.
Once you have applied the last top coat, generally a light buff with 0000 steel wool or a buff with a polishing pad is enough to get the Wudtone to glow.

Hi AJ

Seriously, you have probably french polished your last piece of wood ever.....

This Wudtone is revolutionary. I am demonstrating guitars I have built and finished in Wudtone to various music stores who I am friendly with and they are blown away with the tone these guitars retain as they are not being dulled by nitro.

Don't treat the process of applying Wudtone like other lacquers. Follow what DB has no doubt already told you. It really is that simple to get gorgeous results. His work with Wudtone is sensational and I get comments all the time that my gutars are not guitars but works of art. Its all down to the finish we are using.
It does require a bit of time between coats, and it does require you to follow the procedures. But the end results are well worth it. And since you clearly already have woodworking skill i anticipate being blown away but what you will produce!

Nope, still trying my hardest to get rid of the glue ... Hopefully I should get it all out this week and start applying the Wudtone soon!!!

Just a thought here, but may be worth a try.. a lot of the wood fillers will take a wood stain readily.. maybe if you have gone too far trying to get the glue residue out , it could be worth a try to do a light coating of filler ?? Just a thought outside the box so to say...

Ah, that means that I get more time in the rocking chair sucking on the corn cob pipe relaxing with a nice cup of coffee... :P looking forward to receiving the wood tone to make a start .. hopefully over Easter.... 1 day to go before GF

Just a thought also.. about the disposal of the cotton cloth used in application.. some where I have read that they have the possibility to spontaneously ignite... for that to happen it must have one crazy exothermic reaction happening... bit like oxygen and grease/oil .. that goes bang also...

Hi AJ,

The chance of self ignition is very low, but it could under the right conditions.
This is why we recommend that you soak the rag in water and dispose of it either tied in the glove or in a tightly sealed plastic bag.
