No idea if a thread like this already exists, but today something incredibly dumb happened to me:
I just sanded one of my kit bodies down to the bare wood for the FOURTH time.
I had some trouble with the stain looking patchy and the sealer pulling off stain. Oh and also me touching the wet surface. Yep....
After it was all under control and looking just PERFECT, I left the room, just to return and find a HUGE A** FLY sitting (or better: sticking) in the surface.
I actually tried to save the fly but this is where it all gets messy. Not going to get into the details, but... it was bad. Neither the fly nor the finish survived....
So, tell me about how you messed up while building your guitar. ;-)
