Applying the finish


20130802
I have decided to use polyurethane varnish for the guitar.
First I pore fill using the wood pore filler.
Then I sand it level.
For the PU varnish I use wipe on technique to apply the varnish.
After each coat, I sand with 240 grit to level it.
After 3 coats, I still can't get a good shine.
I think I have wait for to to cure properly and meanwhile read more about applying PU varnish.
I probably need a few more coats.
