Hello,

Here's what I have done so far.....I level sanded and used Z-poxy to fill the pores (2 sessions). Sanded down with 220 between each session.

Sprayed two coats of "Universal sanding sealer" , then sanded down with 320.

Sprayed 5 coats of EM6000 and thats were I'm at so far.

The pores appeared to look filled after the Z-poxy, but if you can tell anything from the photos there are alot of pore impressions in the finish.

Should I keep spraying or sand down and start over? Or any other advice you may give??

I've never used Z poxy or sprayed my guitars for that matter....its new stuff to me. But I had fun spraying :D

Thanks,
Jeff

Keep spraying. Get at least 10-12 coats on there, let it sit for at least 1 week, 2 would be better, than level.

I should have added, that if once you've final level sanded you can always spray a few more coats if you think it's not thick enough. Make sure though that if you're going to spray more coats after the initial coats have cured, sand with 220-320 first as this will really help with the burn in.
