You butchered this guitar.

Need to use grain filler before your stains, that's why your nitro didn't work. I've learned the hard way as well........ I've done the refinish work for some local builders since it's a whole different world.

Ahh.. disregard my last.
I see you finally did use tru-oil on it.
Good on ya.
Keep up the stellar work, my friend.

You do nice work, sir.
I enjoy your YouTube channel.
I've used tru-oil on a few repairs in the past. What are thoughts on using tru-oil on wood-build guitars?

That Looks Like an auto paint problem called fish eyeing. It comes from car wax. Some people claim silicone. I don't know. But the only way to stop it is to get a good sealer as your first coat. Though that's on metal and old paint. Who knows on wood.

Your sandpaper should have been called Sand Until 3am

I just did this, it took about 4 hours, but it came out really nice.

Do you have an opinion on denatured alcohol and a rubbing pad, like your doing a french polish? Seems like it would work well??

As to sandpaper and your problems: Loading, as you call it, is the result of a "closed coat" paper as opposed to "open coat" which both refer to the placement of the media and the angularity as it presents outward. Further you do not offer what type of media is being used, which the manufacturer would indicate on the back of the paper or in their catalog. As to the media: there are many choices, each has properties which behave in specific ways. Harder media breaks down slower, yet cuts faster. Facing refers to the media. Learn more about sandpaper and your options increase: three components are present in sandpaper, 1) the backing material, 2) the binder which holds the media and attaches to the backing, 3) the media, silicone carbide, aluminum oxide, zirconia, etc. I also suggest your painting is the first place you should consider for that sets up the sanding requirements. I noticed your spraying...can an old dog learn new tricks? To bad you are finished with this type of work, I could have offered to teach you some "new tricks of the trade" for a reasonable amount of money as a consultant.

The nitro lacquer is sanded after each sprayed and dry layer, and then, after sanding with fine paper, it is polished with a sanding paste. It is a lengthy process.

"Keep chemical away from the plastic" but soak it up with stain. "You have to scrape it across the grain" and after two minutes: "If you want to avoid schraces you have to go wit grain". And "Huh, hah, huh, hah" like you're digging a trench. Bunch of noncenses. Be happy, watch if you want, but this is making a theory from ordinary things and making everything looks harder than it is. I made my 101st guitar this month from scratch and it seem to be easier than him wiping guitar with a cloth.

Scraping tip,,, yep,, another unsolicited tip from the back seat drivers….

You may already say this but I fast forward most long videos. I have patience to work on stuff but not to sit long…

It sounds backwards and it is but for detail work when using blades I scrap backwards and sometimes even use the back of the blade.

Less chance it will cut in or scrape into the material you want to keep. I almost always try to scrape with something softer than the bottom material but obviously that’s not always possible considering we cover stuff with harder stuff to protect it.

Good videos…

Now I’m going to research that paper.

I haven’t done much but boiled linseed oil finishes for a while on my wood projects which I clean with denatured alcohol and let dry before putting anything on the wood but even BLO can be a pita when it gets too thick. I do use some sandpapers but for detail I’m finding the 0000 steel wool counterintuitively works to apply thin coats and get it into the wood with no blemishes. I don’t how well that would work with varnish and the possibility of getting steel wool into the coating. I may have to try a test peace just for curiosity…

My actual Final process on wood and metal is a hair dryer for a minute or so with no more touching until later when dry and just light buffing.

A million ways to skin a cat but I love cats so I just pick what works for me as you obviously do for you.

Great work and knowledge sharing….

Have ever considered using steel wool instead of paper.?

I make small wood projects and I always dread the finish. I don't care so much if a guitar is pretty but I appreciate a good sound and playability.

I'll preface this with acknowledging my lack of sandpaper experience, but it seems that the sandpaper you like is Aluminum Oxide and the sandpaper you don't like is Silicon Carbide. Have you checked online for 600 grit Aluminum Carbide sandpaper? There's some available from AA Abrasives. I don't know anything about the company, but it's a start.
