Well I had it perfect but of course, perfect isn't good enough.
So I thought, having read other tips, that I'd give it a little sand before I put the 2nd coat of matte Cabothane on the neck of my guitar. Well, it took the colour out. It was the finest paper I had. I tried re-staining but there is now a defined line between colours.
I'll try more stain again but I'm pretty sure I'll need to sand the whole thing back and start again.
If anyone can save me from that you have until this afternoon or I'm goin' in.
