My 1st wooden stock, assembled rifle pics added

Simtech primer and clear.
Must use non starerated sandpaper!!!!!!!
Or you will have thousands of fisheyes!!!!!

Simtec, now there's a name that brings back fond memories! Simon made some special formulations for me for my Glider repair and refinishing business. Loved the smell of the product but if I didn't wear a perfect fitting chemical respirator, I got an immediate and serious sinus infection.:oops: Dang pesky MEKP...

Lots and lots of sanding and polishing :confused: But the final product was always incredible.

You've got some real skillage goin' on there. Beautiful workmanship! I'd move to Oregon just to visit and take in the wonderful smells of your paint shop. Or not, maybe....lost most of my sense of smell to years of chemicals and solvents. Never lost the desire to paint, though.

Just pulled up Simtec's website. Going to have to try out some new materials and techniques! Just gotta find me a nice piece of wood.

Texas, I'm liking the looks of thier UV cure
Primer and clear this will speed up dry times by 23.5 hours. Lol, and turn around time to the shooters. Lots of sanding for sure!
Trust me I'm learning the what to, and not to do's from my brother.
Soaking his knowledge up like a sponge.
Bc'z, that looks freaking amazing! I need a new FTR stock; you taking orders? ;)
Sure! Shoot me a pm.
You'll be surprised at how much it doesn't cost ya!

Am wondering if you need a particular frequency of UV for the force cure? Or is it commonly available?

The clear comes in thick, thicker, and thickest!

400 to 600 watt mercury vapor.
BASF has a uv primer that I've used for years on vehicles, it was the only one I know of that could be cured in direct sunlight.
2 minutes and your sanding.
I'm hoping simtech will respond the same way.
 
Stunning!

You need a pick and blast combo deal where a guy can send you a stock and a telecaster.
 
30 years painting cars helps.
But the skills with wood go to my brother in law who's been building custom guitars.
Hes shared his knowledge and shop with me so I can learn a new craft.

Luthiers are the one to study for making grain pop and fades, sun bursts etc.
