Fashionably late.
Great job. I didn't know you were going to put the cover on. Yay!!!
It's actually...2 coats of Behlens vinyl sealer with lemon yellow tint, one coat of sealer with no tint, 4 coats of clear with white,yellow, and amber tint..(yellowed milky), 2 coats of clear with red tint,( to calm down the yellow), one coat of clear with yellow and red tint, and four coats of clear clear. It has been block sanded between every color coat and in between the clear coats so the overall finish is not as thick as it sounds.....I used minute amounts of tint...less than half a drop in 8oz. of clear. I learned in my previous 2 tries that it is easy to get too dark or too opaque with pre mixed colors. You could barely see the color difference on white paper, but it turned out to be the best way to get excellent depth, and be able to make minor color corrections during the process.
All my wishes for this bass, you have brought into being. It. is. stunning. I dips me lid.
