Just wanted to ask a few questions. This is my first build I have bought the Dingotone Body Finish Kit Nullarbor Ochre and the wax. I want the neck to remain the same colour that it started can I use the final coat of this kit to just protect the neck then just wax. Thanks for your help.
Hi Ben, welcome to the forum.. Make sure you sand the neck to at least 600 grit, even 800+ will give it a smooth finish for slick playing. I think a neck clear coat kit will be more suitable as its a different formula to the body top coats and should be less sticky and slicker to play
What sort of kit are you building ?

You can sand to 800 and just use the wax.
As you play the oils from your hand will enhance the effect.
I would reccomend finishing the headstock with a few coats of the final coat first though.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
If use henna to stain the wood of the neck can I sand down henna then wax?
You don't want to be waxing the neck bro, that's for the fretboard.Originally Posted by Ben1902
Cool man what do i want to do to the neck
You can use the Dingo wax on the neck.
I have designed it to be used on all the timber parts of your Guitar...

From what I understand, he's talking about using the wax as a finish over stain...not real hard wearing:P
I don't understand what real hard wearing is :P.
