This is my 1st Uke build and I am about to begin the finishing process with Behlen aerosol lacquer. The book that I have "Guitar Finishing Step by Step," from Stew Mac says that I need to mask the sides and of the fretboard and the fretboard before I finish the instrument. All the Ukuleles that I have played have a gloss finish that goes up the sides of the fretboard and stops. I would like to just mask the fretboard itself and leave the sides to get a smooth lacquer finish. Has anyone else done this on a finish? How did it work? Any things to be careful of?
