Spraying the Finish






1. Mike applies paste grain filler (Lawrence-McFadden Grain Filler) to the entire uke, wipes the excess off with a square of T-shirt material and then exposes the uke to a strong UV light for about 30-60 seconds to cure.

2. He then scuff sands the whole thing (except the soundhole) with an orbital sander with 320 grit sandpaper. The soundhole is also scuff sanded but with a hand sanding block.

3. Mike then sprays the uke with a UV cured polyurethane spraying lacquer. He sprays 3 coats with a ½ an hour in between coats.
