Model H7582 Junior Electric Guitar Kit
NOTICE
Dust particles suspended in the air will
settle on wet finishes, causing less than sat
-
isfactory results. To avoid this problem
:
• Leave the finish room undisturbed for
24 hours prior to applying the finish.
• Avoid making unnecessary movements
upon entering the finish room.
• Apply the finish to the guitar parts and
immediately leave the finish room.
• DO NOT return to the room until the
specified drying time has elapsed.
4. Wipe the entire guitar body with a tack cloth
or a soft clean rag to remove any dust.
5. Thread the hook through the temporary han-
dle and hang the body in the finish room.
6. Apply several thin coats of the finish, follow
-
ing the manufacturer's instructions. Multiple
thin coats usually produce a better quality
finish than one heavy coat.
7. Allow to dry according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Note: Depending upon the type of finish
used and environmental factors, drying time
will vary.
To achieve an extremely high gloss finish with
lacquer, follow these optional steps:
8. Sand the entire body with #400 grit wet and
dry sandpaper after at least three coats of
finish have been applied. DO NOT sand
through the finish—be especially careful on
the edges.
9. Apply more finish, sanding between coats,
until the finish is the desired thickness.

. Allow to dry according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Note: Depending upon the type of finish used
and environmental factors, drying time will
vary. Sometimes it may take up to a month
for the finish to reach its full hardness.
11. Wet sand the finish using #600 grit wet/dry
sandpaper on a sanding block, followed with
#1000 grit sandpaper.
12. You may buff the finish by hand or with a buf-
fer, starting with a medium polish and work
-
ing up to a high gloss polish.
Note: If using a buffing machine, be extreme-
ly careful to avoid going through the finish,
especially on the edges.
