DrNomis_44's Gold Standard STA-1M Build.

[DrNomis_44]

It's good that you're listening to the good advice offered, Doc... it's coming up really nice!

It's funny how being patient and waiting now will actually save you weeks in the end.

For sure, and I agree, if I had've gone with my original plan of spray-painting the body a solid-gold colour I probably would have ended up with the whole thing going pear-shaped somehow, I've seen alot of other members builds go that way because they were impatient trying to get a certain result, I was pretty pleased that I did not end up with broken screws while doing my mock-builds.


The Strat body has been hanging up on it's coat hanger hook since last night, drying-out, last time I checked, the body did feel dry to the touch, which means that the bottle of Final Coat DB sent me is doing it's job properly.

Hi Doc, hopefully this post brings up your 1/2 century......time to raise your bat to the crowd and dig in for the next 50 pages.

Damn, must have been one post or line too short on this page.

May need to add some filler here to get the good old Doc over the line.

Anyone out there willing to help?

Really struggling for any meaningful stuff at the moment.

Whilst the finish appears dry to the touch it's what lies beneath that matters most as I bet it is still doing a bit of slow curing.

Take the rest of the weekend off guitar building Doc and come back to it in a few days time.

Don't worry mate, my last post got me to a half-century, I guess you're right, we don't know if the finish is truly dry even though it may feel like it.

And everyone in the crowd stands to applause the Doc on his fine knock in bringing up his 50, now unbeaten at the bowlers end awaiting next over to take the strike and chase down the next 50.

Update:



Seeing as the first coat of DT CG Final Coat was applied on Friday the 25th March, I'm wondering if tonight will be a good time to apply a second coat since the first coat has had three days to dry now?, it's now Sunday the 27th March, might wait till about 10pm to apply the second coat of DT CG Final Coat.
