Kovax Assilex disc 125mm 7 holes 1200 grit

Kovax Super Assilex is available from 600 up to 1200 grit for your guitar finish. 

Finish
Lightly sanding between each coat with Assilex 600 sheets enables a fine build-up of the lacquer layers and helps to reduce unwanted orange skin and accumulations.
When your instrument has completely cured after the last coat of varnish (at least 2 weeks), you can start smoothing the surface.
Start with Assilex 600. Do not use water. Assilex is designed for dry sanding on lacquer and gives you  less chance of sanding through the lacquer layer than with traditional wet sanding.
Sand the surface in 1 direction and regularly look over your surface with grazing light. Sanded parts will be matted, non-sanded parts will continue to shine slightly. If you still see shiny spots, sand a little further on that part.
When you see almost no shiny parts, repeat the sanding process with Assilex 800 and 1200.

For an oil finish, you can dab the Assilex 600 sheet in the oil and apply it. In this way you make a slurry of fine sanding dust and oil and you create a pore filler. Spread excess oil with a tightly folded lint-free cloth perpendicular to the grain. Repeat and leave to dry for at least 6 hours for the next layer. Apply the next layer with Assilex 800 sheet in the same way and let it dry again for 6 hours. Then apply another layer with the Assilex 1200 sheet with the grain. Let harden for 24 hours and polish with a lint-free cloth.

Sand round surfaces
For sanding round parts such as a carved top, we recommend the soft interface pad.

Tip:

• Use the Kovax Tolecut from 800 to 1500 to remove minor imperfections.
• If desired, polish the surfaces further with the Tolecut 2000 and 3000 and give gloss with Menzerna, available from 400 to 3500 for sublime shine.
• The flexible Assilex discs and sheets are also rinseable and therefore last longer.
