Can I hijack this thread?
My current is issue is my last finish coat of Dingotone has been drying for about a week now, and it is still tacky. Any suggestions?
Cheers.

Hi Jeremy,
Hmmm, thats a pain... Can you move the body to a warmer area with some air movement?
Try that and let me know if there is any change in a few days.
If not, there could be a problem with the final coat. It may be that you got a kit that was sitting around at PBG for too long.
In that case, I will send you a new bottle of finish with instructions how to safely remove the tacky layer without destroying the other coats.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Ok will give that a go and let you know.
Thanks.
Dingobass,
No luck with the relocation and extended drying. I'm not sure that it is necessarily my particular bottle of final coat, as I also have separate neck final coat finish and my neck is the same. Perhaps too heavy a final coat?
Can you let me know the best process for taking it back and re-finishing.
Thanks.
Jeremy.
Jeremy, when you say "tacky" do you mean soft enough to leave fingerprints in, or is it hard but with a well used Post-it note kind of feel. My limited experience is that the MK1 DT top coat should be resistant to fingerprints after a week, but may retain the slight stickiness for over a month, especially in humid places like Sydney.

More like the second description, but I would say slightly stickier. I couldn't slid my hand comfortably over it.
Ok. Think I know what the problem is..
PM me your postal address and I will send you a replacement final coat.

Dingobass,
Were you able to send this off to me? Are there specific instructions for removal of the existing finish?
Cheers.
Jeremy.
Hey Jeremy, it should arrive over the next few days.
Out of curiosity, has the finish hardened up any more, Or does it still feel tacky?

Sorry missed that response.
Still tacky, the neck is a little better but all around no really usable.
Thanks.
