Hi folks,I am trying to recover a Stratocaster that I rubbed back to wood using Coating Resin to get back to a good surface finish before painting.
I am a complete newbie to the use of epoxy resins and now I fear that I have messed it up !!
I mixed up the two parts as instructed on the bottles, and spread it liberally - probably too thickly actually.
that was 2 days ago and now the surface remains slightly sticky, which worries me a lot !
I have a horrible feeling that it isn't going to cure properly, or will it eventually harden up enough for me get in there with some abrasive and prepare it for a final coat?
If not, I guess I will have to scrape it all off and start again...that will the 4th time, having tried the primer/filler, topcoat, clear coat route 3 times and realised that the wood quality is so bad it was never going to cover well.
Incidentally, Fender use epoxy resin as a grain filler so I was hoping to emulate the factory process.
