time required to do the fretwork and set-up = 2 days. There was a time , not that long ago, where my fretwork looked like my guitar body right now 🙄

Use a small block to wrap the sandpapers around, if you just use it with your fingers, you will be sanding grooves into it all instead of keeping it flat. The devil is in the details! This what I did...

I admire your dedication and patience It strikes me, reading this thread, looking at the photos and reflecting on @Boo's guidance, that "dedication and patience" are absolutely essential for spraying...

I’ll dig it out and take a picture. @boo You mean something like this? Attachment : IMG_20210320_110403618.jpg

Where abouts in the world do you reside I live in Belgium

@koendb Where abouts in the world do you reside? I’m just wondering what products will be available to you compared to me here in Blighty (the UK).

@koendb Sometimes if I want to do something much faster, I will use a two part filler, this dries by chemical reaction instead of air drying, you can sand it after a few minutes. Obviously I get that ...

@boo I am so grateful that you take so much time to explain in detail, even repeat things to make me fully aware of what I should be doing. I admire your dedication and patience

@boo it is rustins mahogany grain filler. The instructions on the can says : leave overnight to harden

@koendb Just so you know, this is quite normal to be refilling, it’s all part of the process. Just to shift the topic to car bodywork for a minute, using car body filler is done in multiple stages. Wh...

Right, so I've now also learned that this is a job better suited for during daytime, as now i can see more little nicks and dents.My guitar seems to have measles now 😉 Should this dry overnigh...

then sanding it back after I get some more 320 grid, clean with naphta, followed by a few coats of sanding sealer. Reapply a few coats of primer. Does that sound right? @koendb It looks like you have...

@Boo Thanks for so much detailed explanation, seriously appreciated! So I started by sanding it down with 400, as I did not have any 320 left, in some spots I went through the primer, but that s ok. ...

@koendb Your guitar is looking great by the way. Sanding and finitting is tedious and more difficult than expected sometimes. At least when a guitar is being painted, we can use fillers, primers etc t...

I also had some runouts, when I had the spray can too close to the body, I sanded those away this evening. But I wonder, what my options are to remove this little imperfections. Do I need to get rid o...

@koendb If you want to get rid of the imperfections you’ll have to do that before proceeding. If you leave them they’ll still be visible no matter how much lacquer you apply. I’m no finishing expert (...

You must have had a sheltered childhood TV. Not so much sheltered @boo, just a childhood that mostly took place before the dawn of the internet .... 😉

Back in my day, we'd never have done anything like that, and then put a video on the internet. @tv101 You must have had a sheltered childhood TV. 🤣
