Re: Time to buy my first router - Any tips
Tim ,, if you're into solid body routing i'd say you need something with a bit of guts, Look at something like a 1/2'' Makita or Hitachi packing a couple of horses, these makes are good quality and value for money. Cheers Rod.

Re: bindings for soprano
Ray, are you using a bending iron to get'm to shape or even just a bit of sream? Stu mac's bindings are about 1.5 mm i think, should bend ok with a bit of heat. Cheers Rod.

I've posted pics of this before but i'm not sure if it was before the crash or on another topic.
So i'll just tack it on the end of the reconstruction.

Re: Mirrocat 3220
Thanks for the info Bob and Allen,,pardon my ignorance Bob, "100% reduction"? does that mean 50/50 laquer and thinners? And what size nozzle, if the product is thinned more do you reduce the size of the nozzle they recomend? i've got 1.2, 1.4, and 2.0. The reason i'm sounding a bit unsure, even afte...

Mirrocat 3220
Hi all,, I've purchased Mirrocat 3220 to finish my next couple of builds, i have a data sheet but just need to ask those who are familiar with the product their opinion. Data sheet says to only thin up to 30%, use a 1.5-2.0 mm orifice on the gun, use one sealer coat and two top coats, only use mirro...

Re: Kerf Linings
Forgive my ignorance, the A4 linings, what are they? how are they produced? are they specifically used as guitar kerfing? I don't recall seeing any info on these before! Also Waddy, why have you used different linings at the back and front. Cheers Rod

Re: curly maple progress
A bit of a set back in the Rocket camp, i set the neck yesterday, and in the process managed to damage some of the burst in the heel and cantilever region, nothing major , just annoying so had to remask in that area to touch up.I'll use my recently aquired airbrush kit, shouldn't be too many dramas....

Re: curly maple progress
Well thanks for the positive feedback, i'm very happy with the way this build is turning out, i must say i was very uncertain of myself when aplying the burst, anyway it's turned out ok so far, thanks to Nicko's sujestion, and how to apply the stain to highlight the figure in the timber. Cheers all,...
