you will trust me you will, and for your patience you will be rewarded handsomely.
it was tracy's idea and i thought it sounded like a good one so when you get it thank tracy.

8th coat of clear, we had a storm two nights ago and since then it has been about 40 outside which is a bitt too cold to spray, at 50 i could spray and bring it in but yesterday it had some good gusts coming thru here, if you want i took some pics of the "mist" coats, you can see how well it blended.
anywho,
i think this pic is from.... tuesday of last week, after the misting coats.

and then these are from when i wet sanded, it blended in almost immediatley! i was amazed at how fast it just sunk in and blended in.

this is from saturday night i went out and did 1 coat outside but it was cold enough it affected the spray so i did one inside, and i didn't start to level sand it until monday since they were kinda cold sprays, they are pretty boring pictures but they are informative.

the last one looks like those giant fender coffee tables they made a couple years ago. so much gloss you could slide a beer mug from one end to the ohter!!!

i wanted to get one of those SO FUCKING BAD, but never did

on a side note, i got some liquid(in a can) nitro from the same behlen company that i did the top coat(the first time) on your neck with and check this out.
remember that refret i did on the ovation that was messed up really bad?
well i put som scratches in the top on the treble side from where i had to lift the board a bit and i figured " no big deal, i will drop fill and it will look perfect!"
and it did, well he called me on saturday to say that the finish was perfect when i gave it to him(i told him about the scratches)
but after about 2 weeks it started to bubble and got lil tiny holes in the bubble.
so its looking like that was a bad batch as well(shit!)
but i gotta re-finsh the top of the thing.
kinda sucks that it happened 2 times with that stuff but its good to know that it wasn't just your neck or something wierd that i did.
when he drops it off im going to compare what it looks like to what your neck looked like.

yeah, no joke, even if i have to pay an extra 3 bucks a can, its worth it know that the mix is right.

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Wed May 14, 2008 7:03 pm

its just a good faith neck.
i felt bad about taking so long on the first one, tracy said i should just give you one, so you gots a free one.
you'll like it tho, its never been installed on anything before, besides a paint stick.

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Thu May 15, 2008 12:02 am

yeah man, free neck, i hope you have a spare strat body or something, or perhaps put it on the black strat for 2 weeks.
either way, you have a free neck
