On with the black and wipe on poly.
The poly seems to go on fine and no reactions so far...(24hrs later)

The black however doesn't quite match and seems a bit grey compared to the Epi black. It bugs me enough to redo the colour, no biggie.

Clear not fully on , but gives an idea of with and without. I actually have clear on the whole rear of the headstock, and I can still see the colour difference
