As Tony said, a little bit goes a long way.

When you go to use it, thin it down with water until you get a thick cream consistency then use a rubber squeegee or an old credit card to scrape it on.
I apply it across the grain, working both directions to make sure it gets in.

Let it cure over night and sand.


No worries and cheers mate so I'll add a squeegee to my shopping list then, will start work on finishing the body on Tuesday this week, or maybe later on this week once I get some time, I'll have to buy some sandpaper from the Big Green Shed while I'm at it so I can get started since I'm going to be doing an order for some PBG Luthier supplies on Tuesday, I'm assuming I'll need to buy sandpaper with grits from something like 180 to 400, will post some pics of the progress with the Ebony Timbermate.

Hopefully my local Bunnings shop has Ebony Timbermate in stock otherwise I might have to order some which may take some time, looks like my build may get off to a slow start and my build diary will be an epic one...lol.

I guess as the saying goes..."Slow and steady wins the race", I'm sure ShazzRandom is going to be finished with her build long before me, but that's totally okay, means I'll most likely end up with good results.
