i started this thing early last summer and im just now finishing it up. (school went back into session and college classes are no small time commitment). i was really angry at myself though, i was level sanding it last weekend and was trying out this new sandpaper that came as a bonus sheet with some stuff (its the 3m anti loading paper), apparently that stuff is way more aggressive than the regular sandpaper of the same grit becuase it cut right through the finish like no ones bussines, so now i am forced to spray it again. i was perplexed though becuase when i went to spray it again the area that had had finish sanded through simply refused to take finish, it was actually repelling it away to the sides any one know why it would do this? |

shad, it almost sounds like that "no load" sandpaper had a wax on it to keep it from loading. I am curious if you had any type of fish eye or cratering on the surrounding finish? If not, you might try a little super glue on the affected area to see if you can seal it first with that. Mike |

Mike there doesnt appear to be any fisheye or cratering... but to be honest i dont totally know what either look like ive not done to many instruments and finishing them correctly is something im still learning quite a bit about, on top of that i dont have a good spray set up so i am forced to used the cans at the moment, so my finish is always a bit uneven until i sand and polish it. whatever it was it seems to be taking finish alright now... |

If you went through to bare wood(ie; through your sealer coat) it could just be that the wood soaked up the finish you first put on it. Once you built up enough to seal the wood again the finish started laying down like it should. At least, that would be my guess. |

I know no load sand paper is coated with a metallic soap. It can cause problems with waterborne finishes (more of a problem) and even solvent based. If using standard lacquer try wiping down with mineral spirits to remove the contamination. It won't hurt the lacquer. |

I love how the headstock shape is the same as the upper horn. Very nice looking bass. Very. Darrin |
