thanks skezz

I have one final layer to do(I think) then it's gonna dry,
then I'll wet-sand it and polish it

then after it's dry enough, i'll install the electronics
and the neck

Jeez!!!!! Stilt's that looks great when will it be ready? I know a few people who built there own guitars but none of them looked as good as this. I always wanted to build my own drum kit but that's too hard you need to engineer lots of steel parts etc!, too hard for me to ever consider.

Thank you

I put on a few thinner layers today with a 9KW heat-fan in between.
When I left, it was so glossy I could see a reflection of myself in it

If it's dry tomorrow, I'll go over it with a very fine-grain sandpaper
to even out a few things. Then I guess it's time for some polish

One thing that bothers me is that part of the upside, of the upper wing,
seems a little thin. I'll take a look at it tomorrow though, now it's time
for food
