So it's been roughly 3 weeks since I sprayed the clear and I was planning for 4 but the finish seems hard and doesn't have any strong smell to suggest that there are significant solvents still coming off it. So tomorrow I'll get some sandpaper, buffing and polishing compound and see how it comes up. My only concern is how flat the back will come up as it looks like I should've used more grain filler than I did.
You're not wrong Waz. It's actually surprisingly physical work.
Cheers mate, the colour has come up nice and the headstock shape I can't claim as my own. It's a G & L shape.
My knowledge and ability playing guitars is limited, so I'll probably contribute to the gear chat about as much as our current politicians are contributing to Aus haha. But I can definitely contribute to beverages at some point.
