What do you think about the contact cement dac? The red bottle one
@Levisrad 16 күн бұрын
I haven't used that product, so I can't say. There's a good video called "Tolex 101: Glue" by Blackbird Pedalboards on KZbin. I used that as a guide when selecting a glue choice. I wanted to use the dap weldwood contact cement but I couldn't find it locally. So that's why I ordered the 'tolex glue' from nextgenguitars.ca. I believe it's the same as the Wilsonart H20 glue which is also hard to find locally in my area.

What kind of glue did you use? Is the tolex plushed? There's plastic back and plush back. I bought plastic and it doesn't work.

i ordered 'tolex glue' from nextgenguitars.ca it's a specific type of glue for tolex purposes. The tolex I got was plasticky on top and canvas-like on the back. the glue soaks into the canvas to create a strong bond. I hope this helps a bit

Sanding sealer gave you that texture. That texture is the sealer not in the clear. The clear is showing you the texture Under it. Sanding sealer is for filling the pores and should be sanded afterward. It is not a primer so to speak. You need to level it, just to 320 or something. The next coat, the color will have 320 scratch to grab on too. A good thing because you are going to put enough solid color on it so that will be invisible anyway. Your color coat needs to be perfectly sanded for your gloss to shine up too. And compound - polish afterward. You'll get it keep trying.

It's definitely a worthwhile option, I recommend it if you've got the time and patience. I got this cab for $350, which is the cheapest I've ever seen in my local area. Nice used versions of this cab are $800+ here. Once it's done, it's super nice to have a mint condition cab that you retolexed yourself. It's a satisfying result!

@Levisrad 2 ай бұрын
@@cheeseburger7925 the best way to do it is to remove everything before refinishing, so you can sand better, lay the guitar body fully flat etc. that gives a more professional result. However, I’ve got some friends that played in punk bands, and spray-painted their guitars kind of like that, just masking off the pickups, bridge and knobs. It can work. It just depends on the kind of result you’re after.

I have a similar story. Yesterday I bought a 1987 ESP horizon. Missing neck pickup, and original trem was replaced with one that doesn’t work. So I had to buy a new original Floyd rose and a neck pickup. It’s got some dents and dings, but I paid $380 and dropped another $349 into it. I’ll have $729 into this beast when it’s all said and done. I’m beyond excited.
