Disaster!!! I was pretty pleased with the result after about 6 coats of tru oil so i decided to try some ghs guitargloss as a finishing touch. It was like all the tru oily guuuuudness and some of the paint just came right off!!!

Looks like that GHS stuff partially dissolved the TO plus part of the colour from the underlying artwork.Originally Posted by Joe Piler

Never had that happen as I mostly lay down 6-8 coats then 2000 grit or higher wet sand after it has been left to cure for a couple of days. Then repeat again but with micro mesh pads from 4000, 6000 to 8000. For the 3rd application of coats from # 12 or higher usually leave a bit longer, week or so and then wet sand again with micro mesh pads right up to 12000. Next step is to use Meguiar's Car Polish as per these links.....http://www.meguiars.com.au/surface-p...mate-compound/

The other guys no more about Tru oil than me, but, After putting on the number of layers of tru oil you want, probably wait at least 21 days to fully cure. then wet sand with very high grits before using an auto cut and polish then a final polish with some auto wax.
In fact I think some of the guys should put up their techniques in the finishes thread.

Got to agree, this looks like the oil hasn't cured properly.

Yeah, set or not I'd be binning that Sh*t anyway.
Good thing it's just the testpiece will be taking my time with the actual kit, i'm purposely gonna build it in my gf's workshop (she's a jewelsmith) where i'll only have time to work on it during weekends, the weather is picking up and it'll have a whole week to cure between sessions.

Best to find these little speed bumps in testing eh? If your GF is a Jewelsmith you could get some additional inlay bling going!
I'll Look into that however i got a maple fingerboard neck delivered with this kit and australia is a long way away to order a new one if we screw it up.that is of pbg even has any more.
I'm playing for a live audience for the first time end of may would be sweet if i could use it there. If not i have my trusty ibanez sas32fm.

I notice that polish "contains petroleum distillates" ..........I reckon that is the problem...acting like a degreaser as it warns of it milking older polish.
