    Thanks Gav, I was interested so I could look up the drying times to compare with what I'm using. I'm assuming it's the White Knight rattle can, where it is touch dry in 15 mins, respray after an hour? They don't suggest a curing time in their data sheet, but it's a lot slower drying than the Septone Clear I used, which is 10 mins between coats.

    PS... I've been smelling my guitar since I sprayed it yesterday

    Edit... Looking at the MSDS for the same brand products, aerosol Vs bulk amounts (for thinning) shows some differences in the chemicals used. Does using aerosol cans mean longer curing due to the chemicals used? Something added to prevent it drying in the can, perhaps?

    It could be as simple as changing the density so it sprays better

    Yeah not sure Swanny. The sniff test doesn't lie, no matter what the thinners and agents! I generally try to wait as long as possible, but when I'm feeling particularly impatient I have an outdoor heater here from the big green shed to keep things moving along.

    cheers,
    Gav.
