Re: P64 JAG..CLEARED!
And it's even smoother and shinier in real life than the camera could catch!
... now I am so happy I do the dance of joy!
Edit: I couldn't resist more pics. Notice the shim in the neck pocket. I wanted to leave the telltale shim mark in the clear.
And here's the neck getting a suntan. I'm hoping it will turn more "salmon":

With that pink skin pigment I wouldn't be too long in the sun without sunblock.
BTW - WHERE is the Piña Colada?

Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Yeah... it looks like a cough drop or hard candy that's been in the mouth for awhile... shiny and smooth.
The headstock indeed tanned a little. I can see a little more salmon in it than the body. It's not noticeable in the pic so much. I better stop any further tanning until the body is ready to set out!

Re: P64 JAG..NAILED!
It was mostly all day for two days... in intense heat and sun.
Like I said, its noticeable... but just barely. I think a few more weekends might yield the color I want.
But I'll have to let the body catch up first!

Well, I didn't mean the color haha... just the smooth texture and shine. I wish my camera could catch it better...RumorsOFsurF wrote:Reminds me of this:fullerplast wrote: Yeah... it looks like a cough drop or hard candy that's been in the mouth for awhile... shiny and smooth.

Re: P64 JAG..NAILED!
I just lightly wetsanded, wiped it down with a tackrag and isoprpyl.. and applied the final coat.
You can see it is becoming darker and more pleasing to the eye (IMO) the deeper the clear gets!

Re: P64 JAG..NAILED!
Like you said, Doug - looks like a hardcandy someone have sucked on for a while.
Beautiful!
The clear will make that pink go nicely towards salmon whith some UV on it too.
