There's only one way to find out! I think y'all probly know my answer - I'm with @Boo : Test on scrap...let us know how it goes! ... sorry can't help more... 🤔

@boo thanks boo. Thinking the same thing. I think if I am wrong damage happens within years. That is why I wanted to confirm a definitive approach but practicing on scrap is on my radar. What do you t...

Posted by: @clinton Perhaps Louis might know. @clinton Is Lewis on this forum? He must be, surely. Maybe @markbailey can give him a nudge for a little input perhaps. 😉 I suspect he would say...

Sad to hear that Lewis is moving on - he did a lovely job on my Tele - please send him my best wishes.

@boo I have several builds that I intend to complete before the years end all with no finish. Trying to attempt a different lacquerless approach. Will be back at it again real soon. Did some scrap tes...

"We don't make mistakes- We have happy accidents" - Bob Ross Nothing like some accidental inspiration. It gives it a very unique look and your fix will make it even more distinct. Maybe you'll want to...

This documentary about building guitars is so amazing!! Keep it up this good work.
