  Gluboost surface level after polish on poly finishes

  Posted by Jean-Marie Prual Super Real Guitar Works on May 3, 2024 at 4:15 am

  Hello all ! I’m trying to get better at ding repairs on poly finishes, using Gluboost Fill n’ Finish. After levelling with the razor blade and successive grits, the surface is perfectly level but the polishing seems to attack more agressively the Fill n’ Finish than the surrounding areas, leaving a surface that’s not levelled anymore. Any advice ? Thanks 🙂

  I’ve given up on using my Stewmac buffer on Glueboost repairs for that reason. I do almost all touchups now with the Tolecut Saterter kit SP9738 for sanding to 3000. Then I hand buff with a flat block covered with soft paper towel and Meguiars 105 Ultra-cut compound. If I have a larger area and I’m feeling brave, I pull out my Bauer dual action polisher and use the yellow foam buffing pad, again with Meguiars. It doesn’t seem to dig into the Glueboost like a buffing wheel does.

    Thanks Dave ! I fear I was relying too much on a not agressive enough polish, I bought an agressive compound (Sonax Profiline Cutmax) and will use it with a block too. Thanks for including the references of your products !
