Marzocchi705 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I went to look at my guitar today to find that a news paper had been placed on top of it, the laquer was still curing. I went and lifted off the paper to find that it pulled some of my finish of leaving this. Now i have to do the whole thing again, and whats really odd is i could just pull the finish of, it came off easyily. Any tips on how i can get better adheasion of the laquer?

Devon Headen Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 That could be a problem. I'd think anything above 320 would be risky. Once you get an area peeling it won't stick very well anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 My sandpaper went from 280 to 400, so i thought the slightly lighter paper would have been better. Im gona give it another try tomoro. Any other tips for surface prep while im here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 You could use 400 or even 600, this are the grits that I use for the final sanding on primer. And on my 7 I sanded to 320 before the stain. I had the same problem with my blue Ash guitar. the problem was that the base was not compatible with the clear coat, I know that somebody else had the same problem here. I used metalcast blue as the tones color, and then used Olympic oil based as the clear. Here is a link to the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
