I finished my 2nd round with clear coat on the 21st of September. I have been letting the finish harden the entire 21 days the mfg says I should. Over the course of the last week, I have stared to do some dry sanding. I have got it about as good as it's going to get with 400, 800 and 3M gray sanding pads. It's looking reasonably good...
I did nothing at all to color the finish on the back and sides, but really like the natural. The mfg warns not to wet sand with water (which I have already done somewhat...), so I will be using odor free mineral spirits as I move to 1000 and higher grits. I don' think water will really hurt it, as I used wet sanded with water on the neck and it came out quite well. On the body though, maybe water as a lube contributed to the sand-through that i am now just about through repairing. So, trying to do it right this time... Will report as I have results!
