Epiphone Les Paul Special Model - 5 - Sander Sealer

 Ok so the next stage after rough sanding and removing all the old primer, paint and lacquer was to seal any grain I had exposed.  The better job I do here the better the final finish will be.

I bought a small can of  Sanding Sealer, it comes in a tin as a thick paste.  The idea is to thin it down with white spirit to a consistency which allows it to be rubbed in with a rag.  Once all the exposed grain is covered it is left to dry and then sanded smooth ready for the primer coat.

After repeating the process I attached a piece of wood with a hook on the end to hang the neck and body.  I also masked off the fretboard ready for primer.
