Thanks Ray! I working hard to update and edit down the current videos to eliminate dead space and redundancy. I definitely got better at shooting and editing as I went along. Working on new content as well. Thanks for checking in.
Excellent video series. I am having trouble with an area on a cedar top. A out a 2 x4" area that won't take the shellac. I have sanded, padded on, brushed on and still no significant build up. I can see shellac going on but when dry it doesn't appear anything is there. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks for following along! Hard to diagnose remotely, but does it fisheye? Meaning does finish bead away from it or does it stay wet for a bit and then dry in place? If so, my best guess would be that it has some severe runout and that spot is more end grain than long grain and it is wicking it up before it has a chance to form a finish on the surface. If thats the case, it will happen, it will just take a lot longer. Feel free to send me some photos via email. jbrown@alisguitars.com.
