Easy finishing options
ColorTone Aerosol Guitar Lacquer is an economical way for the beginner to apply a finish without elaborate setup or equipment. Only a few cans are needed to completely finish your ukulele. Or try brush-on application with ColorTone Waterbase Brushing Varnish.

	April 4, 2008 I have just finished making one of these uke kits, and I am delighted with the result. I have had to order two more kits because my wife has claimed the first one, and a friend wants one, too.

good sound

I have done other stewmac kits in the past but not for many years. The kit instructions are fairly clear. It goes together well. a couple notes. I would forgo the dowel in the neck next time. Properly fit the neck to the body by putting sandpaper on the body and sand the neck and making sure you get a 100% fit neck/body. Unless you have a drill press or are very lucky you will not be able to get the dowel 100% true. There is not much tension on those nylon strings.
Throw away the strings in the kit or use them for fishing. They sound like crap.
Purchase machine uke tuners. Friction pegs are terrible although a little rosin in the friction area makes them better.
Be very careful with the instant glue on the sound hole. The instructions say it darkens the wood but will be invisible after the finish. Not so. It darkens the wood and it remains visible. Especially to the builder since you know about it.
I finished mine with the brush on finish then wet sanded down to 2500 sandpaper in stages after lots of coats of finish. Then rubbed with rotten stone and got a deep lustrous finish.
Sound quality is great for such a new instrument. You will be disappointed at first but the quality of the sound starts to build fast. Just keep playing it. In a couple weeks you will be very happy with the sound.
All in all a nice project.
