Thanks Slowy, the bloke at what was formerly Colourworks was very unhelpful, he didn't know shit, I used to get nitro there 2006, but he said they never have and hadn't for 10 years. I'll give these guys a call.

Haven't been in there since I built up my black Telecaster, but they were very good; make up whatever colour you like and pack it in a rattlecan if you want.k1w1 wrote:Thanks Slowy, the bloke at what was formerly Colourworks was very unhelpful, he didn't know shit, I used to get nitro there 2006, but he said they never have and hadn't for 10 years.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: SG from HECK
Semi frustrating night shoot lacquer...cat came in garage with mouse, knocked over cymbals, my hand pressed against the wet nitro, sank into all the built up layers. And I was getting ready to buff this weekend. Gggrrrr
Up to the minute picture this weekend...this is of course a bump.

Re: SG from HECK
you don't leave it 4 weeks to flash off before buffing?
I'm too impatient too, but I'll usually leave it a week or so if poss.

Re: SG from HECK
Thanks, I'll take you up on that. At the moment only need enough to spray an acoustic neck. I have an airbrush. Will PM later tonight. Much appreciated.*UNIQUE* wrote:K1w1....I have some clear if you need it.

Re: SG from HECK
Disaster tonight.
As I started to do the initial wet sand (yes beeg, it's early I know) I notice what seemed like a crack in the neck lacquer. Apparently my guitar had an "on the floor experience" courtesy of said cat. One of the headstock repairs has come undone. Fuck.
I took a deep breath, scarped away the lacquer, injected a sloppy mix of aliphatic resin and water into all the moving bits. So now, at some stage, I have to repair the repair....so frustrating I cannot describe.
Thread off line for a while.

I have had similar stuff happen when clear coating outdoors....bloody plants and trees with their stupid seed pods flying through the air right onto my freshly sprayed guitar

Re: SG from HECK
It's a pain eh, my latest build has been three years delayed because of something similar. Going to respray the mx5 before I even look at the guitar again . Lp sprayers are awesome though eh*UNIQUE* wrote:Disaster tonight.

Re: SG from HECK
Oh and I'm just curious about your flashing off time. I've not had problems yet with a week or so, any detriment with you going straight to sand and buff?
You know how the yanks swear yo have to leave it in a darkened cave for 15 years without touching it... That's all.

Re: SG from HECK
In my experience I can, after two hot days baking in my garage, do the first 600 sand. Mirotone nitro....hardens pretty quickly. A week is better of course.
Yeah...I'm pretty gutted. Have had a bad run recently with shit like this. I need to stop the punishment for while. By purchasing a new Gretsch White Penguin.
