Well this is a surprise, I still cannot understand this Forum, I'm used to replying on a forum and it's almost instantaneous. I see a post on this subject where I updated the original post and a week or so later it is still awaiting moderation. If this gets through I'd firstly like to thank Dan Hawkes, for his concern for my wife's injury but thanks Dan it was just her knee and it fixed itself before she had the scan but thanks anyway mate.

So, into part 2, I melted my decal by using an acetone lacquer instead of a nitro lacquer. Not toi be phased I applied another decal over the Osmo, left for a couple of days and built up with nitro. Meaning to carry on building the decal up I accidentally sprayed the acetone over the nitro. Horrified, I sanded off that coat with 800 grit but not before I'd noticed something interesting, the acetone coat on top of the nitro covered better, and gave me the matte finish I was after. I've found out you can spray a decal over Osmo if using nitro, the nitro spray I had gave me orange peel but I finished with the Rustoleum acetone that covered and enhanced the headstock as far as I'm concerened. I've just found this out, but it's looking good. 👍
