That's perfect. I live in N.Ireland and have been thinking about refinishing a poly coated sg. Having not only the process concisely explained but being shown the relevant UK products was a great help. Cheers.

Good and informative video but cameraman, PLEASE use a wider aperture, or wider lens, the depth of field is so little, its impossible for you to stay in focus and its really hard to watch the video for us...just a friendly suggestion :)

Wow. I hear everyone say that it has to cure 2-3 weeks before buffing depending on how many coats you apply and the humidity.. and I know that's its pretty humid in the UK..

Very helpful video, thanks. The focus didn't bother me as much as others probably as you weren't actually demonstrating techniques.

If you're worried about sanding pads clogging, try Mirka. They're fantastic.

I have been finishing guitars for over 30 years. I I think for the classical guitar works for me with barrier coat polyester at 0.14 mm then I use urethane one coat at 0.20 mm that works for me. Nitro takes long to dry

I built a guitar and finished with nitro from Rothko and Frost. Let it dry for a month before sanding and polishing, finish just ended up cracking everywhere. Massive cracks, every time I pick it up there are more cracks. Really ruined it. I'd never use nitro again. It's over a year now since it was sprayed and I'm thinking of stripping the full thing back to wood and finishing again with poly

So if I want to do a mahogany guitar, is this the right order? 1. Grain filler 2. Stain 3. Sanding sealer 4. Clear lacquer And is the sanding sealer necessary?

Sanding sealer is part I thought porefill would do?

Oh my god. Don't you know that CBS / Fender used vinyl sealers under the cellulose of all those guitars that the lacquer often crack off badly and/ or end up cloudy. Both from lack of compatability and adhesion.

Maybe CBS / Fender's vinyl sealer failures where the result of crumby scuff sanding or contamination. Good luck.

Thanks for the tips! I just wanted to ask: can adjust the paint colour with 2 pack base coats and paint 2 pack clear over the existing Nitrocellulose on my Gibson Les Paul?

You must do what works for you. If the final product has a great feel and a great tone then don't mess with it. Every builder uses what works for them to make their guitars how they want them. Guitar players buy guitars for how they feel and sound. Looks are next. Some like highly polished and blingy, Then you have players like me that love a relic and some like both. Tone wins every time.

Hello there, I've got a Bill Nash Strat and the only thing I miss about it is the checking on the nitro I see on the Custom Shop Strats. Would you share any tips on how to cause that effect in a safe and visually cool way? I've looked everywhere and I know it has to do with the temperature, but that's all I know. I'm down here in Brazil and down here everything is more difficult, I'd really appreciate the help.
