I had some flaws in the neck of my Ukulele, so I sanded, reshaped and refinished the neck. When I was done my satin finish looked and felt amazing, the neck was as smooth as silk. So what’s the problem? My thumb and palm now squeak as they rub against the back and side of the neck. Much as a thumb rubbing on a clean plate would.
Is this something that will correct itself with curing and playing or is it something I’ve done wrong?
The neck is mahogany, the stain Minwax Express, the poly is Minwax Express Low Gloss. Both applied with a cloth, both are water soluble. Two coats of stain followed later with three light coats of poly and after waiting 48 hours a final light sanding with 0000 steel wool.
Thanks in advance. Wes
