Stans LP build for my sister

[wokkaboy]

nice and shiny Stan, looks great, is that miniwax gloss wipe on ?

[stan]

cheers Wokka, yes Minwax wipe on poly (from the evil green shed...)

[wokkaboy]

Stan there's a gloss and satin version of miniwax wipe on so I was presuming it was gloss ?

[bargeloobs]

That purple Stan, I love it. And a stinger on the back too, niiice!

Hooley Dooley that rich purple/magenta cap has got some presence.
This effort will be a real cracker when its done.
I'll be interested to see how that "scarf" treatment on the neck comes out too.

[stan]

@ Wokka, yes mate, it's the gloss. Didn't know there was satin, will look for that one!

@ Bargey, thanks mate, stinger will get a purple out line, like a pin stripe, because the edges are a bit too hard to clean up (it should look cool too)

@ Max, thanks Maxxy, my sister says that if she can't sound cool, she will look cool with it!

The purple is looking amazing Stan. The wipe on poly suits this colour really nicely too. Great job!!

cheers,
Gav.

the wipe on poly was being problematic.
so sanded it off and went acrylic clear. nice quality automotive stuff...
it has been curing in the garage for literally a couple of months, last few days have been pretty warm indeed, should be dry, right?
no solvent smell, feels hard, so time to polish.

got this result:



turned it over, it's resting on a clean cotton towel, and did this on the front:



nice, yeah. not perfect, but getting there.

so after what is about 2 hours of resting on it's back, no chemical involvement, no weight, just it own weight, i get this (.and this has happened to me before...).


this is indentations in the clear, not stuck on fluff (there is some of that too, but...), I am going mental, I have redone this twice, I just dont know where to go from here...





this has been resanded before, i just dont think i can do it again, i think i might have to reorder another kit...

Oh dear. I know this pain very well. Happened on my jazzmaster.

What i think has happened is the buffing process has put enough heat into the finish to soften it a little. Then turning it over straight away and doing the other side has forced the towel into the paint.

I would say, you could sand this out and re polish.
