Spraying finish and filling pores


No, that's not chocolate sauce on my guitar neck. It is stuff that you use to fill the pores in the wood. We sprayed a few layers of lacquer, and then filled pores on the mahogany neck so that the rest of the lacquer layers would create smoothness and not keep soaking into the pores. This isn't necessary on all woods (e.g. the spruce and maple and ebony that makes up the rest of the guitar)... just some. You smear it on, wipe off excess, scuff with 3m pad... and back for more lacquer.
I'm not posting more pics of me in the spray booth cuz it's pretty much the same as last time.
