I have read many threads on finishes and cardinal finishes seam to be a good choice. What is the product number that most of you are using. There seams to be so many choices out there. I would like to place an order very soon.

Thanks for all your help

Blake

I've only begun using it on a neck rebuild that I'm doing. I like it. Flows out nicely, and seems to fill every bit as well as Seagraves. Todd Mylet, a friend who owns Portland Fretworks in Portland, OR also uses Cardinal and seems to like it.

Addam Stark, who finished one of my latest guitars warned that, to avoid microbubbles, one needs to hold the gun a little farther from the workpiece than needed for Seagraves. Addam told me that Santa Cruz Guitars also use Cardinal now, and they're happy with it.

I really need the product number to insure I'm getting the right stuff.

Thanks

Used it on my last guitar and will use it again. I really like it.

Sands easily
Burns in nicely
Buffs out well
Repairs well
