Yeah I can't find a Men's watch that's wide enough for me - I'm 6'3" so normal watchbands look really narrow [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Re: I did it again!
By the way, I've got the Sealer sanded and now I'm on the 3rd coat of Primer - two or three more coats and I should be ready for the Big Wait [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Newc, the book doesn't recommend you sand the primer prior to applying the color??

Re: I did it again! Page 2
Yup. Forgot to add that part. I did sand the primer so it was smooth (and the sealer before the primer, if I didn't mention that as well).
I need to email John and ask how he defines "a thin layer". I think that may be the biggest problem I'm running into - what I think is thin may actually be too thick. He says he gets about 1-1.5 seconds of "body time" in the book - crossing from one side of the body to the other in one pass takes 1 to 1.5 seconds. While I didn't time myself, I'm pretty sure I've got 2-3 seonds.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Re: I did it again! Page 2
Tennessee sucks. Damn Cotton Country. I had like one week at most of good days to paint where the humidity wasn't too high or the temp too low or it wasn't raining, and now I'm probably gonna hafta wait at least another week until it clears up enough JUST to try and fix the booboos on this one, and HOPE that I have enough time to get a few layers of clear on it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Does the guy say in his book how long these finishes will last? Are they as durable as a factory finish?Comment
-
Re: I did it again! Page 2
Yup - the title of the book is How To Create A Factory Guitar Finish.. so yeah they look and feel like factory.
However, there's also a few considerations:
#1 - Guitar companies use a catalyst to harden their clearcoats faster
#2 - You have to give the finish ample time to harden if you're NOT using a catalyst, which means (according to the book) about 6 months after it's done. He showed a pic of a guitar that he thought was dry (2-3 months) and he sat it on a guitar stand, but there were rubs into the clear. He then found out that the rubber arms of guitar stands have an adverse chemical reaction to the poly, which causes it to melt.
So he recommends leaving it hanging or standing on a strap pin for at least 6 months before putting it on a stand.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Re: I did it again! Page 2
I´ve just stripped down the paint on a Warlock body and I´d never imagined it would be so much work!! Good for my selfesteem to see other have the same problem [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I´ll never do that again though, it sucks.
The result wasn´t very good either.Comment
