Christine Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 A light rub down with 600 and the result was good so two coats on top just to be 100% sure and I think the spraygun can go back in it's drawer You can see the reflections are looking relatively straight bar the orange peel 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't have been much but could I get rid of it? The thing that gets me and I don't understand why, it that despite being grain filled, had countless coats of lacquer and flattened before each days spraying, the day after spraying the grain still telegraphs through the finish. OK it's only just perceivable but it's there. It will be fine once it's hardened, rubbed down and polished but how does that happen? Well this one has been a learning experience but the sad thing is I'm not 100% sure what I've learnt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ok, busy as a bee in a window! Seeing a kid off to college this fall, hoping her studies in biomechanical engineering can get me a couple new joints! Lol. It's very nice to catch up with you, and your work looks as stellar as ever! Very nice. I'll be checking in, if that's ok... (Carlo told us you were here, posting build threads! And right, you already knew that...) Edited July 29, 2019 by Count Bassie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 @ChristineJust had an awesome morning reading this entire build thread nestled in the Brecon Beacons and a cuppa, kids all still asleep! Bravo - great stuff and excellent learning points all around - lots of mental notes taken to try and improve my rather Neanderthal skills. At some point I will have to progress from tarting up someone else’s work and graft a body myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
