Doing Things Wrong

These are coming along very well. The base layer of Krylon satin polyurethane is sanded down. Each one got a full can. I am waiting for another warm day to apply the final coats.

Krylon is my new favorite rattle-can poly. You can get it at Hobby Lobby for just five bucks a can, with a 40%-off coupon. All the spray paints were 30% off last week, and I bought out the store.

Krylon has the thinnest formulation and goes on very smooth. Varathane is very thick and seems to be pre-loaded with dust nits and lumps. It makes a good grain-filler, but that's all. Minwax was my previous favorite, but since Lowes bought up Minwax, they raised the prices. Krylon is not only the best but also the cheapest!


This fretless sounds really cool, and is super-easy to play, as you no longer have to stretch your hand unnaturally just to make ordinary patterns. It is set up with flats I found in the junk box. Can anyone tell me what kind of strings have blue thread leaders? The intonation fell right in, which is surprising considering the bridge was previously set up for 25.5" guitar strings. ( Actually, how important is intonation on a fretless anyway? )
