MoonBassAlpha Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hi all I am a great fan of satinizing (if that's a word) necks with Scotchbrite fine scourer but have only done it on poly finished ones, not nitrocellulose. It's a '74 SG, and I have no desire make a pigs ear of it. Anyone done this with success? Comments gratefully received. Cheers MBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I have some issues with nitro necks as my hands react with it making it very sticky. However, this only seems to be the case with 'new' nitro necks where it still effectively 'drying'; on my '63 P this isn't an issue as it has well and truly cured. The two fixes I have tried with newer nitro is to i) use a polymerised car finish like Auto Glym to seal the nitro (this has to be an on going, repeated treatment) or ii) strip it off, resell with Danish Oil and then knock it back with oooo grade steel wool. As your SG is a '74 I'd go down the Auto Glym route as knocking it back with an abrasive will seriously damage its potential resale value.

MoonBassAlpha Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Resale value isn't the slightest consideration, my 18th birthday present will not be sold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Some judicious stripping may well be in order then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
