5.Apply several thin coats of the finish, follow- ing the manufacturer's instructions. Multiple thin coats usually produce a better quality finish than one heavy coat.

6.Dry sand the entire body with #400 grit wet/ dry sandpaper after at least three coats of fin- ish have been applied. DO NOT sand through the finish—be careful on the edges.

7.Use a tack cloth to remove sanding residue.

8.Apply more finish, sanding between coats, until the finish is the desired thickness.

Note: If finishing with a solid color, you may wish to apply several coats of a clear finish over the top, sanding between coats, to add depth to the finish.

9.When the final coat has dried at least a week, preferably a month, remove the temporary handle and masking.

10.Wet sand the finish using #600 grit wet/dry sandpaper with a sanding block, followed with #1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper.

11.Use a clean, absorbent rag to remove excess water. Let the guitar dry completely, then use a tack cloth to remove all residue.

12.Buff the finish by hand or with a buffer, start- ing with a medium polish and working up to a high gloss polish.

Note: If you use a buffing machine, be care- ful to avoid going through the finish, espe- cially on the edges.

NOTICE

Dust particles suspended in the air will settle on wet finishes, causing less than sat- isfactory results. To avoid this problem:

•Leave the finishing room undisturbed for 24 hours prior to applying the fin- ish.

•Avoid making unnecessary movements when entering the finish room.

•Apply the finish to the desired guitar parts and immediately leave the finish room. DO NOT return to the room until the specified drying time has elapsed.
