Ordered the kit a few weeks back and am stoked with the spalted cap! So keen to get into it. The plan is to go over it with Coolangatta Gold. Was hoping I could get some advice on maybe putting an undercoat of Ebony Timbermate and sanding back, as I'd read a few other guys have done on here. I'd be a bit weary about it as I can now see how thin the cap is and would hate to ruin that beautiful spalt.
I've ordered a pair of Tonerider Generators, some Sprague Orange Drops, and upgraded pots. The plan is to have fully black hardware which will complement the spalt really nicely.
Unfortunately I have about another week left of study before I can get started on it, however tempting it is to just do a bit of sanding, I'd rather not rush it and ruin it.
