Gah... getting closer and closer... then woops 2 weeks back.
It's even worse on the back. Maybe I should scrap it all together and finish correctly. At least the neck and headstock are ok...

Hello everybody, Two weeks ago, I brushed 10 coats of KTM-9 over 2 days on my first guitar. I started wet sanding today and I've just found out that a small spot by the rosette was sanded through the lacquer... what am I supposed to do? Sand the whole thing down and start over? Why did it happen? It is because I applied the finish too thin and because it didn't level itself as it should have? Please help me out, |

Sand the surrounding area lightly with 400P wash with DA. Drop fill or if big enough brush on 3-4 coats just larger than the area. allow to cure 3-4 days. lightly sand to level with the rest of the finish and allow to cure for 2 weeks. You want to be sure to clean the sanding area well to avoid witness marks |

Na! this is not a problem as long as the sand throughs are not that big. Lord I have have done this more times than I can count. Spraying is a bit easer to get level coats than brushing but even then it can happen. I have gone away from wet sanding to dry sanding only starting with 320p and working my way through 800p the switching to micro-mesh 3200-1200 then power buff with extra fine mensesrna compound |
