Hello all,
Well I'm into yet another project, but I thought I would share a finishing procees (using water-based Minway
POLYcrylic clear) I'm trying out, though the idea is certainly not my own. Check out this shortcut to the ReRanch discussion board and the I'll add my two cents......
http://www.reranch.com/reranch/viewtopic.php?t=21213&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=First comment; It really dosn't matter if you brush it, spray it or use the areosal cans, I tried all three. Spraying is obviously fast, but since it's being used as a filler/sealer and will be block sanded, brushing works fine and clean up is really easy.
Second; as stated in the RR forum, it runs, be prepared to......block sand.
Third; It really fills and seals well, I used it on a swamp ash body and got a glass smooth base for my
NITRO color coats.
Anyway the first post in the link has most of the info you need, I wanted to let everyone here know about it and give a "hands on" report. I've exclusively used the tried and true lacquer sealer, oil-based grain filler and lacquer top coats for years and if I'm doing a Gibson finish on Mahogany I'll continue to do so ( for tradition sake if nothing else ) but for a Fender type finish, I think I may be a convert.
Questions? Comments?
I'll post some pics over the weekend, I should add the project is a Phil Lynott "tribute" bass......
Cheers,
Scott
