| Post subject: | Finishing Options on Plywood |
Greetings, I'm ready to finish a Beard roundneck kit. Neck's no problem but the plywood body has rather unattractive grain on the veneer, plus I accidently sanded through the thin outer veneer in a few places truing up the sides for binding and scraping the binding. It takes stain unevenly and looks bad. You guys ever just use a primer (like that shellac based white B.I.N stuff Zinsser makes) to cover the grain and spray color coats and clear over that? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Terry |

Use the zinsser seal coat shellac and ad some universal pigment in the color wanted. Add as much as you want until you achieve the opacity required ( try it on a sample). Then go to your standard finish schedule. |
