@herb Sorry for delay Herb - didn't receive notification and missed this... Sounds like you would be better to de-mask after the primer and remask again for the colour... You could leave it but there ...

I've got a kit on the way and am wondering exactly the same. How are you going on with yours? Do you unmask after every coat?

I would love your opinion on this Mark... Maybe I'll mask the fingerboard a fraction of a mil short for the primer and peel off the tape before it sets then remask right up to the edge of the 'board f...

Further to this... It occurs to me that the side of the fingerboard will be masked for the primer coats which will need to harden before several coats of colour. Will I still be able to demask the sid...

How should I mask the rosewood fingerboard AND de-mask it whilst maintaining a perfect paint line running up to the fretboard edge. Very Carefully... ? Mask up the fretboard as normal then: add anot...

May I pick the brains of you experienced finishers please... My current not-a-Strat build is coming along nicely. I'm currently sanding and final shaping and thinking ahead. (Pictures to follow later....

What model of the Earlex HVLP did you go for Mike?

Thanks Bill. I'm leaving the acoustic for a little longer before I buff / polish that. May even do a few more coats of lacquer with the HVLP once I've got the lacquer and thinners from Tonetech.

Looks stunning!

@darrenking Right- five applications of Osmo satin, with ultra-fine wool rubs in between. There's a mild lustre on the back and sides, and a nice oiled colour on the spruce top. Back and sides are lov...

I think I would have to say that it depends on the material the decal is made of and how it has been printed. Ideally you would make an inlaid logo from contrasting veneer as this is likely to take th...

Hey gang. I've decided to Osmo. Matt or Satin to be decided. Before I do the neck, does anyone know how a decal stands up to oiling / waxing? Is there a preferred way to get a logo on if this is not r...
