    Yes, the DT does dry slower than most..
    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
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    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.

    If you deliver the scotch, I'm pretty sure DB will add the butter... :P
