FINISHING-2
After the necks have been sanded to "perfection" (I find that sanding to a 220 grit sandpaper is quite sufficient), I tape off the fingerboard prior to applying the lacquer.
I have a bunch of "handles" for necks - just a piece of wood with a dovetail joint cut, which I place on the dovetail of the neck. This protects the dovetail on the neck and gives me something to hold on to while I am spraying the neck.
After the first coats of lacquer are dry, (several days is best), I sand the neck and then fill any voids or low spots with lacquer so that they will be level at the end. I use this little bottle with a metal needle nose. They are available in a number of woodworking catalogs. You can also use a brush, but these work the best.
