    Is the top coat for colour the same as neck kit

    Wondering if the top coat of a colour kit is the same as top coat of clear neck kit?

    Hey Tony, better wait for DB to confirm but I got a feeling the neck coat dries a bit harder. The stains are compatible on both of course

    Might be too late - a quick experiment on a maple offcut and then impatience and its on the neck.

    Body top coat will be fine for the neck.

    Neck final coat is harder, but you can get away with the body final coat.. It might wear off a bit faster though.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    I've put one coat on, if I got some clear neck finish to continue are they compatible?
