@liebe I think you’re being too modest!!😃 However, if it was luck.....stay lucky!!🤣😃👍🎸

@liebe It’s gone really well for you hasn’t it, they look great. I’m definitely going to try this finishing product out. I’m a spray guy as you know but these results are proving that great finishes can be achieved without spraying gear and/or the skills and knowledge. 

Hey @boo give it a go, from the instructions it looks like it can also be sprayed too! Definitely thin it and cut it back regularly. I'd love to hear your thoughts

Spraying isn't really an option for me and I reckon this is the best option that gives a hard finish for those without the ability to spray. I'm happy to be advised otherwise! 

It couldn't be more simple and I think easier then learning to spray. That said there are a few pin pricks from bubbles and it's not 100% flat. I still reckon spraying gives the best results.

@liebe Yeah ok, I’ll order some and plan another build soon. 🤘😁🤘

@liebe It’s Chestnut product isn’t it? 

Sorry, I think you’ve mentioned it in this thread before and I’ve had a quick look but I’m dyslexic and I can get lost in a sea of words. 

Hey @boo, yes I used the chestnut lacquer and cellulose thinners. 

I found that foam brushes were overall easier to use than a paint brush as it was such a pain getting the brush clean enough to give a decent finish for the next coat. Unfortunately, the lacquer breaks down the foam, so they're only usable for a few coats. 

@liebe Thanks Dan, I appreciate it. It’s a good job those foam brushes are cheap then? 

Cheers again. 👍

It feels like these three builds are taking forever, but the end is in sight. 

I've put the finishing touches to the limba build, with just the two mahogany ones to go.

After days of mirk we actually had some sun, so I popped out and took a few shots. 

This one is finished with an ABM aluminium and brass bridge, a set of Sunbear 59 pafs (wired with a partial coil split) and a shiny bone nut.

I've got a buyer for this one and I'm pretty chuffed how is turned out. 

@liebe  ,nice build, great finish.

@benjaminschwillens82gmail-com thank you!

Nice one Dan, looking forward to seeing the other two finished products in due course 👍😃🎸

@brie Cheers Brian!
