Sadly what I created was a mess @rocknroller912 I know what you’re getting at but that’s really not what it’d have come out like and is about as far away from what I wanted as you can get. No matter, ...

@tej Its difficult to comment without seeing a photo but not all instrument finishes are designed to be even all the way over, and stain often looks bad until the final finish coat. Sounds like you h...

I'll try to be patient and keep piling the coats on. @robin I’m assuming you are using nitro in rattle cans, is that right?

Keep going with more coats yet Robin, you need at least 10, I would say. Thanks @boo, I'll try to be patient and keep piling the coats on.

How many coat should I put on to build a decent thickness? @robin Keep going with more coats yet Robin, you need at least 10, I would say. You will be flattening and polishing some of it off so you n...
