Yes, the DT does dry slower than most..Originally Posted by ultpanzi
I have your health and safety in mind so there are no toxic dryers added.
Also, i am hoping to instill a slow build/ finish ethos as this will always give you a far superior end product.
Typically my scratch builds take three months minimum before i call them done. Most of this time is spent on the finish!
Because i am anally retentive about my finishes i leave each coat to dry for at least a week
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
yeah I have to agree DB its good having multiple builds on the go. I'm trying to wait a week between DT clear coats on my scratch tele.
When are you expanding the naughty room DB its getting bloody crowded !
By the way DB you are only 17 posts off 2000 posts but you won't get the overlord tag. I'm only 25 posts off 4000 posts so will put up a post for suggestions for tags above 4000 posts - and not 'get a life' DB haha

Hi DB, Just noticed in this thread you mentioned a new colour Butterscotch and wanting to confirm whether opaque or if it will act like a stain?
I have a Basswood body and bought Outback Sunset as I thought Coolangatta Gold might be too yellow but would prefer a more caramel butterscotch colour that could still reveal a bit of the timber grain. Looking at other completed Outback Sunset jobs makes me think it will be more Orange and much darker than what I was hoping to achieve.
Any suggestions or do I need to consider a special blend or buy some Coolangatta Gold and mix it up myself? Best guess for a blend would be 2:1 CG:OS ratio or maybe slightly less OS, possibly 3:1 perhaps?
The butterscotch can be both translucent and opaque.
Its just a matter of how many coats you apply.

Pretty keen to get my hands on some of this butterscotch, will it be available soon?
If you deliver the scotch, I'm pretty sure DB will add the butter... :P

I would send some scotch but the stick insect drank it all...
