Masking Thinline f-holes

[Spider]

Hi there,

I'm about to start painting a Thinline body in nitro - I've done some solid bodies before and had great results. Does anyone have any advice to give or experience in masking the body chamber so I don't get overspray through the f-hole?

Many thanks!

I usually stuff my f-holes with rags..  :sad:

Read this thread and you will see how to do it including pictures. Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestions! Rags sound fine, but I have to say I'm tempted to have a go at the balloon method...

Just a little something to think about before you choose the rag method. Lint  :icon_smile:

Well, Lint free rags worked well for me (although they are never completely lint free)
but go with the Tonar method, he knows one or two things about finishing a guitar
