Hi everyone,
I started planning some details for my DSCM 1q kit (expected to arrive in March) and currently looking into a High-gloss, durable clear finish.
I am planning to use the Crimson stains again on the quilted veneer, but unlike using acrylic clear like last time, I am looking for a more durable finish, as my TLA scratches easily.
1. I know many of you use True-oil, but I read this will cause yellowing, affecting the planned colour?
2. Then a lot seem to use the Cabbots wipe-on or sprayed poly from bunnings. I consider this an option as I think it will be harder than the Acrylic clear, but what is your experience with yellowing?
3. Then there is epoxy: I use the product a lot, and though the formula is tweaked for surfboards, I think it might be great for finishing a guitar, or will it not?
It is hard, polishes up nicely (as long as you can keep the bugs out ), doesn't require you to wait for over a month to start polishing and I have heaps of it.
Has anyone used epoxy as a finish on a guitar and what have been your experiences?
Thanks in advance!
