Necks are fully cured. I used the Tru Oil / Naptha mix discussed above

Ray, I think the 12 strings go on one neck, not 2.

Luckily, I have 2 guitars on the way!

Exactly what brand and type of Naptha are you using?

Now back to our regularly scheduled program............ Which reminds me of my previous comment, Ray.
Do you have any 12 string guitars? Or better yet, Role call.............. HOW many of us here have 12 string guitars?

I know Robert does.............

You need to open a Luthier studio...

Not me. I fumble over 6!

You are far too generous with your praise, but I am always learning, which is nice.

Thanks. I asked just to verify that you stuck to the VM&P formulated Naphtha, as opposed to regular Naphtha. I wanted to use a fast evaporating cleaning solvent like regular Naphtha, which "surprise-surprise", is banned in Cookyfornia. So as a substitute, I've been using Colemans Camp Fuel. VM&P Naphtha is Crazyfornia friendly, but I don't know what the difference is.

How does the glossed Tru-Oil finish feel on those necks?

It certainly feels like a gloss finish. I cannot be certain if it will be tacky when sliding, but I suspect that it may. I may have to knock it back with some 400 grit. That said, it is good to know that the method can produce a respectable gloss finish

So the seller was unable to work around some "dry" spots, so rather than wait another 2 weeks for cure time before a re-spray could be buffed again we agreed that I would give it a go for a substantial additional discount.



That was all I needed to apply my discount to this.

Milwaukee M12™ Variable Speed Polisher/Sander Kit

It is downright scary how excited I am to get this little device. It comes with 2 batteries - regular and hi-capacity and 2 variable settings: 0-2,500 rpm for buffing and 0-8000 rpm for grinding.
