Any one got any "tricks" to keep tuner holes clear of finish (or minimise it) when spraying? Or do you generally just deal with it after? |

I've only sprayed a couple of necks so far, but what I did was take a shop towel style paper towel and poke it through and pull until the the hole was tightly filled. Then I took a razor and flush cut it on both sides. They popped out pretty easy after spraying. I've also seen people talk about using the disposable ear plugs but I haven't tried that yet.

A sharp reamer does a nice job of cleaning up |

I always favoured expandable foam ear plugs .... readily avail at drugstores & perfect for the job |

Isn't that why reamers were invented? |

I drill the holes after finish. Buffs out easier too. |

I clean 'em up after spraying, wet sanding, and polishing. I use sandpaper wrapped around a dowel. Not a pleasant task. |

I'm another who switched to drilling the holes after finishing. |
