Am planning on black stain followed by clear nitro on rosewood laminate on mahog tele.After reading the last 40 pages of this forum I have following plan.
Prep sand 320, remove dust canned air,naphta
Black dye mixed with lacquer thinner and retarder
Wash coat of clear nitro lacquer,1-1 with thinner
Clear oil based filler
Clear nitro
Can I still expect problems because of oiliness of rosewood.
Is the above schedule correct.thanks
 
You should be OK.  I have sprayed Rosewood before.  I did have a neck that on the side where I sprayed I had an oil spot that REFUSED to accecot finish.  I am not sure if there is a better ways to prep other than naptha.
 
I read that topic.do you think I need to keep everything oil based ie stain,filler to prevent rosewood rejecting nitro
