CLEAR COAT
The clear lacquer topcoat is also available at most auto parts stores. If you
have applied a colour coat, it is advisable to select the same brand of clear
lacquer to assure compatibility.
- The clear coat is applied to the body using the same technique as described
for the colour coat. Two or three coats of clear should be adequate.
For best results the body finish should be allowed to harden for one week
before the final cut and polish.
Caution: Remember that spray paint is extremely flammable. Do not spray
near open flames, heat or sparks. The area where you spray must be well
ventilated while spraying and until all vapour is gone. Do not smoke! Do not
breathe the vapour and keep doors and windows open during application and
drying.
SHAPING THE HEADSTOCK
The headstock of the SLPP 380B has been left extra long and here is a
chance to express your individuality and to make a guitar that is truly your
own. First, decide on the shape of the headstock that you would like to use
and draw the outline on the top of the headstock.
Using a bandsaw or simple coping saw, cut out the shape of your headstock
(see Figure 2). A half round file should be used to level the top edge of the
headstock. Finally, the edge should be sanded smooth with fine 400 grit
sandpaper.
Note: Some headstock shapes are protected by trademark restrictions and we
do not recommend that you use them.
