First neck finish w/ reranch nitro ... small run on back of headstock?

[tedsalt]

OK, I've done some research, have a new Warmoth maple neck, and applied 3 coats of reranch satin nitro on this beautiful afternoon. On my second coat, I think I had a little run on the back of the headstock.

I expect I should wait a little while and then sand it? How long should I wait? What grit sandpaper should I use for this? Use a block with the sandpaper?

When all is good, I'd like to apply a light coat of neck amber, then hit it with more satin nitro.

Any suggestions are most welcome!

If you can force dry it with a hairdryer,you can sand it with 600 grit wet & dry with in a couple hours. Just don't put too much pressure on the run when you sand. Lacquer sands very easily compared to urethane.

Lacquer is very soft, and takes a long, long time to cure/dry compared to poly.. Id just let it dry, sand level when you sand the rest of the neck, buff it and be done.

Thanks Vintage Guy and HM, appreciate it!

Im pretty sure that nitro coats "melt" into each other.

... small run on back of headstock ...

... and at the heel ...


Although they're hardly noticeable, I'm sanding and re-spraying ...

Let those dry just a bit a ... sand em lightly, and new coats and they'll be more than fine.
