Far out. That's pretty cool. I've heard about peeps sanding up to 12000 etc, but never knew quite how, seeing as the highest grit paper I can find is 2000. Hang on, you're up to polishing already?

That's the power of Ni Ni bro:-) Started clear coats on Monday.Originally Posted by pablopepper
I'll just say right now, there's absolutely no way you'd get way with this if you were lacquering over paint. As soon as you go too thick with nitro it can (and will) rip the paint right off the wood on the count of how quickly it dries. It's only because the ink is such a stable base that I could get away with this. I'm not advocating whizzing through a finish this quickly and there's no way this finish is cured. It just shows what's possible.

No, not that kind!

Barge, looks absolutely sensational. You can really see all the woody goodness going on in the top. I think I'm sold on nitro!

I'll play the synth - after exposure to nitro I'll probably end up looking like Mr. Lowe (below right) from the Pet Shop Boys.
