Hey gang,


Thought I'd share a little progress on my first real commissioned build.  Gonna be a Grand Concert with florentine, WRC top, Hondo RW back and sides (thanks to BobC during the OLF swap), Tiger Myrtle trimmings from Tim/AustralianTonewoods.  Just got the rosette finished...the stripes are really gonna pop once a finish is on there.




 


Question: What's the curing time on KTM-9?  I read somewhere that you should wait 2 weeks to buff.  This baby is due by Xmas....I need to hurry, but not rush!


Cheers,


Jon

Nice looking rosette Jon. 2 weeks should work.

That is a very nice rosette Jon!
It looks very good along side the cedar.

Jon, I like the rosette, too.
The before/after effect is amazing!

I use to use KTM9, and always gave it four weeks before buffing out. Not sure the differance between two and four, in terms of hardness?

Very nice Jon!!!  Your segmented Tiger rosette is very cool!

If I recall correctly when Mike Doolin used KTM9 he recommended 4 weeks to permit it to harden.  Lance has sage advice.
