Well I guess all I have to do now is order and wait. For Wudtone, what does the tinting do?

Canberra is a fantastic place to live, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I don't get all the Canberra hate from the rest of the country.Quote from dingobass on June 5, 2013, 15:23
Hey Matty, I am a recent escapee from Canberra
Beautiful city to live in but the winters were getting to much for me!
What Woks said about curing times being a bit longer was spot on. I would tend to leave it for two days between coats,unless you can do it inside by the fire that is..
It's got me beat as well Matty.
There is a misconception that Canberra is all Public Service snobs.... nothing could be farther from the truth!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
I keep hearing Canberra is the porn capital ! haha

Hey Matty. I'm also in Canberra and doing my first Wudtone finish on a guitar at the moment (its taken me a couple of months because I am busy with work and family).
As far as curing, I apply the Wudtone outside, but then bring the guitar into the lounge room to dry (my wife doesn't get annoyed about stuff laying around the lounge...go figure). One of the nice things about Wudtone is that it doesn't have the overpowering offensive fumes you get with some paints and so having it inside to dry is okay.
This time last year I was doing a spray painted finish on my first guitar kit and the complicated set up I needed to spray a gloss finish in a Canberra winter was a lot of mucking about. I really like that with Wudtone, I only need to allow a slower curing time (and don't have to set up a complicated rig to keep the job warm).
Aside from all the other benefits of wudtone that you will see discussed on the forum, for a Canberra kit builder, it lets you build (hassle free) all year round.
Good luck with the build.
Finally ordered the kit today. Won't lie, I'm a tad excited!
I have been rading the forums and was wondering how necessary sheilding is.
If you are building a strat, it is pretty necessary to shield....
