about finish a solid body guitar [southern myrtle] in oil and wax
i usually apply sanding sealer, multiple shader coats under mutiple clear coats.
after the mutiple coats and many sandings and a month curing it goes up through the grades to 2500 grit followed by swirl remover and polish for a mirror shine....it akes two weeks to get the coats on and 4 weeks to cure
i want to get back to basics on this one to be quite honest - i am after a more natural looking hand rubbed sheen
wondering if the following products are the go for a quick easy finish...
cabots danish and gillys carnauba
i understand that sanding is needed up to fine grits still, but hopefully, less work and a quicker result than above
