Post subject:  Re-Lacquer after buffing ?
I have been buffing out a finish and using buffing compound and have buffed through at one spot . [headinwall] . Now I have to re- spray the neck and headstock . Since I have used a buffing compond , do I need to clean it with somthing befor respray and if yes , whats recommended ? idunno

This is first time ive had to do this , dont wanna mess it up further .

Also , On my mandos , I have been using about a pint of laq. , how much do you spray , am I being to "thrifty" with the laq. ? Is this why I Buffed through, not enough coats ?

Please chime in with your suggestions .

Wipe it down with naptha and give it a light sanding prior to spraying again.

Thanks , Jim . I wll give that a try. As for the amount of laq you use per build ? how much do you spray on the average

James... +1 on Jim's recommendation. And, it is not how much you put on... but how much you leave on.

I know that doesn't help, but I heard a very famous mando builder say it once and had to chuckle. duh

Good luck! Maybe a spirit varnish next time? idunno Can't wait to see it!
