Grain filling guitar body.

[@HighlineGuitars]

No surprise that this video came up in my feed. Great job on this Tele shape. Beautiful wood.

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

Hey, well its because of you that I turned to Solarez. Yes that shape was due to Fender going after me so I had to get creative.I'm so looking forward to using this wood, I have a few more bodies planned with it. It's 2.1 lbs right now. Thanks, I even subscribed to your channel way back.

Sent here by Chris from Highline. Grain filling is something I’ve struggled with. Will have to give this stuff a try! Subscribed. 😊

You won't be disappointed with solarez. I felt the same as you but now I actually look forward to grain filling. Lol go figure. Jeff at Woodessence is great. There's a link to the stuff below.

Thank you so much! Answered a lot of my questions with applying solar rez. Your guitar looks awesome! God bless

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

@@jwwasylik I really appreciate that. Enjoy the journey

I hope you will show us all the process of finishing this body. I really find this interesting.

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

I sure will be. Ill be videoing the spray applications and everything else.

If you allow that Solarez to sit for 30-45 minutes prior to exposing to sunlight, it will settle nicely. Those little witness lines will smooth out.

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

That's a great idea.

Just received my first guitar kit. Body is ash, and I want my grain to look like this video. What product do you use to darken the grain, to color the wood, and to make it gloss? Thanks!!!

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

@wurls1 I use color fx dyes directly on the wood then sand back leaving the dark color in the open grain. I use Anthem clearcoat from woodessence.com. I will add color dye to the clearcoat as well

@wurls1 I use color fx dyes directly on the wood then sand back leaving the dark color in the open grain. I'll also add it to the clearcoat for different hues All my products come from woodessence.com

How easy is it to sand back? I am looking for a good option to fill some black Limba that has a very similar look as your palwonia. I want something clear as the wood has several brown tones and I don't want to try and color match anything. I know some use epoxy but I like the idea of not mixing anything.

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

It sands very easily. I use 400 or 600. It dusts up nicely. Its crystal clear.

Thank you Sir ! Can I spray Nitro over this sealer ?

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

Yes you sure can.

[@lousekoya1803]

@@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars Thank you Sir ! Appreciate !

[@ScheltemaBoutiqueGuitars]

@@lousekoya1803 you can do a light tack coat first. Then go heavier after that
