@boo A pre-unboxing video? You absolute tease!

@chrisot Thanks. Other than the mask/ventilation thing, any other advice?

@chrisot I've got the starter pack of Rustins for my finish experiments (I'm going to be trying different topcoats, stain, sealer and filler combinations on small test pieces, so I think the small qua...

@rocknroller912 Billiard balls used to be made of celluloid, which is a mixture of Nitro Cellulose and CamphorIt's not only flammable, it can also explode on impact Which, given the nature of billards...

@boo, good point, indeed I just looked at the "manual" (It's one page of instructions) of that spray shelter and it says "WARNING : Explosion Hazard. Do not spray flammable paints or materials while u...

it requires A. Sunshine (not a reliable 52 weeks of the year commodity in the UK) and B. Open air exposure to the sunshine (when available). @darrenking Solarez will also cure with UV lamps, they eve...

@darrenkingI was looking into it and Homeright have a couple of units which are basically pop up tents for that purpose (the small and medium ones actually fold up with no assembly required). Interest...

@darrenking Solarez is the answer, the problem is getting someone to import it (it's not realistic to do it for an individual purchase).

It has just struck me that in my loft there is a canvas wardrobe with a frame of metal pipes that slot together. I'll have to take a look and see if it might be suitable, not sure how I'd implement ex...

It's not so collapsible though, and it always seems to be in the way ... @tv101 That's the thing, practically speaking there are three places I could do spray painting. The first two have no power, b...

Now what we need is for Darren to come up with a nifty design for an affordable collapsible spray booth.

It sounds cool, but don't you think it would be even cooler with an additional baritone neck and a bluetooth connection? 😀

Incidentally, I just found that Northwest guitars do a water based top coat in gloss or satin, but it's hidden in their "Water based stains" section. @darrenking, for what it's worth they even have a ...

I think a key thing to remember when choosing between 1K acrylic and 2K (at least for me because my desire for "the best" has a tendency to pull me towards 2K despite its practical issues) is that Nit...

Baritone?

@darrenking The bagpress system looks great, it gives me all sorts of ideas I'd like to try out in guitar building (says the guy who has still not got started on testing finishes, let alone build 1). ...

I may have measured twice Every time Mark says "measure twice, cut once" I think "bollocks, that's not how it goes for me" My reality is more, measure twice, cut... measure again.. scratch head tryin...

I’m thinking of putting a couple of Matt black racing stripes down the middle to give it some contrast. And to make it play faster of course, because we all know racing stripes make things faster.

@darrenking I was thinking just chop those outriggers at 45 degrees at the front (not a big deal for the CNC I would have thought) which would then look "right" when you put it on the corner of the be...

That looks awesome.The 45 degree idea when bench location allows for it is very smart, might I suggest shaping the outriggers to suit that, or would it mean you needed extra long clamps to hold it in ...
