and some more gloves DB!!!! I have 5 left, can i please have about 2 dozen more gloves???

Are you eating them?

[keloooe]

Yes Gav, I am eating them lol!!!
Nah, but I am tearing through them, because I can only do the top separately because I don't currently have a way to hang the body, so it's 1 glove per colour, then another glove for the blending, which means that each coat takes 6 gloves :P
Are the StewMac gloves okay for Wudtone application???

sure the Stewmac gloves should be ok Pest for wudtoning, as long as they are thick enough to stop any wudtone coming through the glove

My first experience with wudtone I used cheap Ansell gloves from the supermarket and they were rubbish - broke too easily

callum you can buy nitrille gloves from repco or supercheap. mechanic grade very thick, never have a problem with them

Pest - went the other way with mine - no where I could be confident of hanging the bass body from, so I've inverted it and am now clamping it to a dirty great piece of rubbish wood I've got around to make sure it doesn't fall over. You may be able to see it in a couple of photos.

Hey guys, got some more highlights (Cheers DB!), I'll remove the coat of it tonight and do it again!!!! Can I remove the highlights without removing any colour coats???

[dingobass]

Just give the body a rub with your steel wool and go in with the highlights again Pest

[keloooe]

Okie Dokie DB, will do tomorrow then (i hope)!!!

[dingobass]

I forgot to mention that you can tidy up the burst effect with steel wool as well.
by careful rubbing you can get a very nice feathered edge on the transition of the outer to inner colour.

[keloooe]

Sweet, will do that on the treble side (mostly) of the burst!!!!
