Ramón -> Flamenco 12 - finishes- feedback? (Jul. 11 2006 2:01:33)
|
Hola all, Started in on the Super Blonde shellac (French polish) on the top. Did 2 'protection' coats, then did 3 more after the bridge process was complete. Sanded that today and did 3 light coats, again. Letting sit for 48 hours, then will sand smooth and start in again... Okay...Here's my question: I'm considering that, as a flamenco, we are WAY harder on our guitars than a classical player... Also, as the top is far and away about the most important part, I chose FP, but am considering using this KTM-9 product, a water-based lacquer, with a harder finish, for the sides, bottom, neck, etc... I've read a lot, and people say it is quite close in many aspects to FP, but more durable, easier and quicker (but a 2 week cure to polish), but I wonder if anyone out there has tried this? I saw that Ramirez, even on the FL1, is now using this method, and to me, it makes sense. But there are those who believe FP is the ONLY way to go, so I'm seeking feedback from you guys. Thanks again for all the support and comments! R
