Here is the latest Luthier Tips du Jour video - In this video I talk about how to seal the tuners holes before finishing.
This video as well as all my other videos are available via my website, http://www.obrienguitars.com/videos , LMI's website or on youtube.

Good idea on the wax paper, Rob. I usually use plastic bottle caps from fruit juice, etc., but if I run out... Your way will work fine. I guess some tin foil would work too.

I find the wax paper works better than aluminum foil. You can see it better.

Thanks Rob!
I'll use the wax paper trick.
I wet sand with mineral spirits these days.
Had too many water issues. Veneer was the worst.
