Callums LP-1 Build

NO!!!! WCE ARE LOSERS!!!! I'm a North Melbs. supporter... Stupid Nic Nat had to take a mark...

Anyways, yeah, the finish is something that I wanted to see on a Les Paul, the messiness is cause it's my first burst and my first time applying Wudtone, but it's looking good already!

Ouch, that must hurt, you probably don't want to see this then.

[keloooe]

That first Majak vs Nic Nat ruck contest was sensational. What a player Majak is. I hear Nic's Eagles team mates gave him heaps for losing that first ruck duel.

Yeah, Daw is going to be a massive advantage to us, apparently he is the strongest player in the AFL....

The blue is really showing in the Dark Onyx at the moment, it'll be interesting to see how it changes over the next few coats. Light/dark colour bursts are challenging to do with Wudtone, as I've found, and it takes a few coats and a lot of patience to really get the blending/transition to start to work. But, it's going to look great when you've finished it, and the reverse 'burst will definitely set it apart from everything else.

Not sure if your doing this, but one trick I've learned is that it is essential to use a different glove for each colour, otherwise you risk cross-contamination where you don't want it. At the start of each coat I lay out 3 gloves: one for my left hand which is just used to steady the body and not touch any Wudtone (unless absolutely necessary), and one glove for each colour for my right hand. Then, any time I switch between colours I also switch between gloves. It's a pain to do, and means using three gloves for each coat, but it saves pulling your hair out at the end when you realise you've left a black gloved thumbprint on your Goldenrod.

Yes Scott, I do use a new glove for each coat, the Dark Onyx patches were there from the towel and from when someone had to move it to get to the freezer, which is my Wudtone-area!

[WeirdBits]

Tell them frozen goods are secondary, the finish is what's important!

[keloooe]

haha, I should get a sign similar to DB's Tool Rule, but made for the LP while it cures!!!!
I think that the patches of Dark Onyx on the Goldenrod makes the finish even more unique than I planned, which to me, is awesome!
