    I used some Rustoleum clear over the stain. It felt tacky, even after a month, so I ended up painting it yellow.ruclips.net/video/X-8x03iz9cs/видео.html

      Hey Tom, I used the same technique on a Bex Gears Strat. Turned out pretty well for my first try. I used Krylon Super Gloss Clear, and it dried overnight.

      Probably too much of mixing of products caused it to stay tacky. I always use the Minwax nitrocellulose lacquer, it does dry fast for wet sanding but let it cure for a few weeks before you get too wild with it.

    Does the grain filler just make the wood as smooth as glass or whats it's purpose? I think your guitar turned out really good. I like the red, orange and yellow mix you got

    • @TomPetersonRefuseReuse
      @TomPetersonRefuseReuse  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you, yes, it fills in the grain to make the finish smooth. If you're attempting this, I'd recommend an actual grain filler, I just made my own because I like to experiment.

    @raysheppard8040 6 месяцев назад +3

    First and for most awesome job, Great work love the color scheme. However the down fall was Grain Filler. How is That? Dyes, Stains and Linseed Oil need to penetrate the wood grain blocking the grain kept it all at the surface the Tacky? that was a combination of the sealer and linseed oil that well never penetrated and allowed to dry, Still for a first run it all looked awesome. (Taurus/Hipoint Enthusiast) When Mine arrives I will be doing a similar process minus the grain fill. I will get it posted before and after. I am wood burning and Dyeing with clothing die. Green Whatchamacallit is the best I can describe it as.

    • @TomPetersonRefuseReuse
      @TomPetersonRefuseReuse  6 месяцев назад +1

    • @TomPetersonRefuseReuse
      @TomPetersonRefuseReuse  2 месяца назад

      I could be wrong, I think I got the idea to do it this way from a PRS factory video. Some use a clear grain filler, I used a homemade one with some black stain in it to accentuate the grain.
