@jonhodgson In my experience it's not what type of finish you apply that makes the difference between good and bad results, it's the wood preparation and attention to detail like flatting between coat...

I find the best way with painting wood, as that is the substrate we are using for guitar building, is to wipe everything down with a damp cloth, this raises the grain. Sand it all flat again and then ...

I had a quick play with it today and I think it’s about .35mm out each side @peebee - that sort of difference *might* be caused by whether you cut the neck, and the neck pocket, templates on the penc...

I positioned and repositioned to make sure it was right.....but still the pocket is slightly too wide.......don’t know if I used a wrong reference line somewhere, haven’t been back in the garage since...

@peebee It happens. I tend to put a layer or 2 of masking tape around the edges if the neck pocket template where the router bit bearing will ride. It makes for a super tight neck pocket. Sometimes to...
