Hey Chris it's a much bigger job than you probably initially thought. Alot of those heavy machine marks you should be able to fill with timbermate.
First time I've seen FW elm.
If you have an orbital sander I'd use that, thats alot of sanding to do by hand !
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
I'm sanding by hand, I don't have access to a sander. I'm not sure how much sanding the top can actually take before you go through a layer - I've never worked with ply or whatever this is before.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
Can I put timbermate over the top of the scratches as it is now? I'm surprised it didn't go in because I had it quite thin (or maybe it did, and that's why they're standing out). I can't feel them. Or should I sand back the stain and then do it?
Cheers Wokka
