Brad, Did you do any light sanding on the color coat before you went to the clearcoats.

dark to light is the way in other forms of painting so makes sense to do the burst that way

Warmouth out of Washington is quite reputable and expensive. I bought a body from them and I had neck on hand from a Squire Strat. I subsequently changed my mind and ordered a new neck. The old yellowed maple neck didn't look good with the new body. When I got the new neck, either the neck pocket was too small or the neck was too big. I had to send the body back to widen the neck pocket after arguments and back and forth on the phone and email. I then had to use a luthier to finish the neck and get it lined up properly costing more money. It wasn't perfect when it was returned to me. I didn't have the tools to work on the neck myself.

Hi Brad, I realize this video was done quite some time ago now, but I was wondering if you had previously raised the grain on this alder body before sanding with 320? I have a similar alder body that I plan to stain with a water-based stain and wasn't sure if I needed to do this before applying the stain. Thanks for all the great content!

My brother and I used boiled linseed oil in his music store in the EARLY '70s. We applied it to guitar fingerboards. I probably rubbed it in as much with my fingers as using a paper towel. It worked great. Never had a single problem with it and am seriously considering going back to linseed because I have not found a fingerboard oil yet that twangs my strings. They all brag ... but no body darkens or strengthens rosewood or ebony like linseed. And boy ... is it cheaper.

Hi Brad, loving the content. Can I use this oil-based Minwax wipe-on method over solvent based car paint or is it only suitable for wood finishes? I want to avoid the hazards of 2k spray if possible. How long should I wait for the base colour to harden? I’ve read potentially 3-4 weeks to allow it to fully harden.
@BradAngove21 сағат бұрын
Don’t use this over paint. Just wipe on with a cloth if you’re not applying it to wood. Sand your car paint with 800 grit paper first so this can stick. The drying time for the base paint depends on the type. There’s no harm in waiting 3-4 weeks though to be safe.

My brother and I used boiled linseed oil on guitar boards in his Tallahassee music store, back in the EARLY '70s. Worked quite well and we never had any problems with it. I generally just use Four ZERO steel wood to clean frets and board at the same time (masking tape over the pickups). Wipe it off well. Apply oil.

I’d avoid steel wool for fretboards personally, but not everyone agrees with that.

Rustoleum back-of-can instructions suggest a couple of medium coats from 12" away. That will result in NO discernible hammer effect - just a matte silver look. They ought to have said a heavy coat from 8" away - but so many people would have trouble applying that with no runs that the manufacturer has probably figured, supplying instructions for the wrong finish effect was the lesser evil. I've a feeling this is one type finish that is actually better rolled on from a can, because a sprayable formulation will necessarily have to be thinner which doesn't lend itself to this effect.
@BradAngoveКүн бұрын
This paint doesn’t tend to run that easily, but rolling it also works. If you’re rolling it you need to thin it with xylene or it will tend to stick to the roller too much and get stringy.
@AlexKarasevКүн бұрын
