Planning a non-Warmoth build chock full of Paul Gilbert goodness

Don’t get your hopes up. It fell out of my drying rig during color and I’ve been too shy to share the dmg. This thing is coming a bit pre-relic’d.

Man, sorry about the accident, but can’t tell it. Looks great !!

It’s pretty orange peel-y but hopefully after a long cure I will be able to sand that out

Very cool build - love it !
You don't have to wait long for curing with the 2K, 3 days is good to sand. If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend Eagle Abrasives Super Assilex. No need for wet sanding with it, which I hate doing on a guitar. If you have to use a heavier grit to get the orange peel out you can lay down another can after sanding.

I will look into the Eagle Abrasives. It probably will need another coat if I want to “bury” the vinyl. I am going to wait to touch it again until the bridge tuners and neck screws get in, they are on the slow boat from Jakarta.

I had a tad of orange peel from spraying and used a magic eraser sponge with Maguires ultimate compound to gently even things out. Worked great.

Previously I’ve tried fast cut compound to limited success, usually I get very shiny orange peel. I am going to try a slightly more abrasive disc on the polisher with some fast cut compound on the back to see if that can save me some sanding.

But how do you handle potato peel?
