    have you had an axe ripped out of your hands Gav with the buffer ?
    My beautiful Dairy Blonde Tele got ripped from my hands in much the same way as the Telenapper would have done......slammed into the floor and dented the horn. Lucky I was able to get it sorted with a steam iron, wet rag and copious amount of water!

    Got the 5th base coat on lastnight, didn't take any photos as it looks much the same, plan to apply 1 more base coat and skip highlights and straight onto extra gloss coats so I have plenty of curing time, then plan a trip last weekend of August to Gav's man cave to buff it up to get hopefully a glass look. Might put a few cushions on the floor near your buffer Gav in case it feels like 'chucking' the body, its an aggressive buffer !
    Will post pics after the 6th base coat Thursday night.

    Cushions? Not a bad idea...Brendan's rubber mats would be useless against this buffer!

    got 6th base coat of amber on, happy with the depth of colour, so tomorrow night will apply 1st top gloss coat, planning long curing periods to try get a glossy look, then a trip to Gav's man cave late August to buffer it up !!

    I will be lurking in the shadows ready to leap out un expectantly to nap this one....... Beware! The BAS is on the loose

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
