I spent a couple days wet sanding an emando and went to buff it today and there were finish fractures throughout the top and sides. I'm assuming its from moisture getting under the finish from holes for the pots and pickups since they are radiating from those areas. Up until this batch of instruments, I had been using Seagraves and never had this issue but recently switched to Mohawk and I've had it happen on two of three instruments that I've finished with Mohawk. I have been wet sanding progressing through 500, 1000, 1500 then 2000 with a mixture of water and detergent. I'd like to stick with the Mohawk. I like how it lays down over the Seagraves. So, I'm interested to know what wet sanding process others are using for a sprayed lacquer finish. Is anyone successfully using a dry sanding process?
