I just sprayed the color on my next archtop and my gun spit a couple of times on the front and the back. What's the best way to deal with the little blobs of finish? I don't know that Ihave it in me to sand the whole thing down. Surely this has been dealt with by some of you. Plus I'm having trouble getting color in the corners, where the neck meets the body. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The best way I've found to deal with the little blobs is a razor blade. Google "run razor" and you'll see exactly what I use. You can do it with a razor blade held in your hand, with a steady hand, and patience. I don't usually finish neck on, but I'd recommend closing up the fan control on your gun, while reducing the fluid, and air, to spray a really small precise pattern.

Careful gun cleaning, as well as straining the finish will help prevent "blobs".............but I still get one every now and then.
