    Easiest way to go and saves all the fiddly scraping.

    that's looking very tasty Cubcall. Remember give the intensifying coats at least 3 days to cure between coats and apply thin coats.

    Thanks for the feedback. I just finished the Intensifier coats on the back and that looks fine IMHO. next week, I will glue the neck on and apply the final gloss coat.
    Cheers

    Looking really good. Loving that colour I'd definitely look twice at that in a shop mate.

    Looking great. Would suggest just using the Coolangatta Gold intensifier only as that will brighten everything up much better and saves having to muck around with the 2 different intensifiers.

    Cheers, Waz
