I’m loading them right off my phone right way up. Then when I post they all are flipping on me! May need to find a hosting site soon.

Ok,
Found quite a few spots where wood grain waves were noticable. So I sanded back with 100 something or other and 240 and 300 something or other sandpaper. Nearly took it all the way back so that I would have all the grain filled. Didn’t take an upside down or sideways picture for that.
I’ve then second coated SCA Primer Filler with better results all around. Still need more attention getting one line of machining out and a couple spots of grain waves.
Here’s some pics in random orientations.
Phones can write data into the photo indicating what the phone orientation was when the photo was taken. Software that understands and pays attention to that data can then make sure the photo is shown the right way up. This is why photos always look the right way around on your phone. But the forum software doesn't check the EXIF tags (which store the information), so photos may look wrong. A hosting site will only help if the hosting site does the rotation based on the EXIF tag data. Another way around this is to only take photos of your build with the phone right side up.

Also, I remember that SCA filler primer colour well. My guitar was that colour for ages

Something I have found with the SCA filler primer is that if you live in a humid place, the longer you leave it before sanding the better it is AND.... hand sanding is best, power sanding is too radical.

Your 100% right Cliff SCA do use a slow thinner in there paint it does take a bit longer to flash off and shrink back if you're getting a lot of shrink back use the etch 1st, if you're using a gun the 1lt 2lt tins are fine I use just about all there SCA range its good gear and cheap I like there 2lt clear I've got 1/2 a dozen tins of it and there thinners in my cub's I mix my own pearls and candy with there clear if your paying anymore for other brands your wasting money, you can get a show finish with there paint pretty easily if you go to there Holden hill store and there out of paint is because I purchased all of it lol I can have 5 guitars on the go at a time
