  • After letting the nitrocellulose lacquer dry for 10 days, I wet sand and then use car polishing products to achieve a smooth, shiny finish. Unfortunately, there is some slight sand-through of the lacquer as well, as a pre-cursor to doing a relic finish

      Yeah, I guess I never did a wrap-up video of that one. Maybe I can find some time this week!

    It is looking beautiful! I love the color. Yellow is so sunny and bright gives you a good mood for some nice soothing music. Keep it up mate!

    I been trying to work up the courage to refinish my guitar in Nitro. You read a lot of conflicting info, but the one thing I always read is that your guitar is ready for final polish after the lacquer smell goes away. Some people say it takes a month or 2, I read another guy says he waits a year. I[m going to have to refinish mine (when I get the courage) with rattle can lacquer. Can't afford the equipment, nor do I have a proper space for doing it with a spray gun.

      The smell test is a good one, but if you go to a guitar factory (I went to the Martin factory this spring), they wait something like 3 days.
      Sure, they have optimal conditions, but after 1-2 weeks of dry time I’m not sure the incremental benefit

    I'm sorry, but that thing looks like hell. not trying to be mean you need to do better, we can't just settle for mediocre, to much time is put into the entire job to settle for less than. good luck on the next one.
