H3122 Classical Guitar Kit -11-
Finishing supplies are not supplied with the guitar
kit. Note—The guitar body is made from spruce
wood and the neck from poplar wood. Clear fin-
ishes such as lacquer look exceptionally stunning
and glossy on these surfaces.
Painting/Finishing Tips:
• Always work in a well ventilated area
when using finishing materials.
• Wear an ANSI-approved respirator mask
and safety glasses when using finishing
materials!
• Fabricate hooks from shirt hangers to sus-
pend the guitar components during the fin-
ishing process.
• Several thinner coats usually produce a nicer
finish than one heavy coat. Note—Always
follow the finish manufacturer’s instructions.
• Dust particles suspended in the air will settle
on wet finishes, resulting in less than satis-
factory results. To avoid this problem:
1. Leave the finishing room undisturbed for
24 hours prior to applying the finish.
2. Have the guitar components positioned
for the finish application upon entering the
finish room.
3. Avoid making unnecessary movements
upon entering the finish room.
4. Apply the finish and immediately leave
the finish room.
5. DO NOT return to the finish room until the
specified drying time has elapsed.
