Dulling down a black poly finish .... Help!

It's more likely parts are just sitting together better after being reassembled

Is it possible to see the finished article, as I fancy having a fog at something similar?

Thanks

Yeah, now worries mate. Images of the HB-35 are here:

You can see the difference between the top and the sides - vast improvement.

My TE-52 started life like this:

And after some work ended up like this:

Sorry for just including just the links, hadn't realised that images were subscription only.

Could be, or maybe I'd just like to kid myself that the new improved finish has given it some mythical mojo!!!

^ images aren’t subscription only, you just need to learn to post them properly. TTony has done guides for all the major image hosting sites.

That’s great - thanks for posting the image links - looks good to me!

I think that looks great

Now do the rest because the same treatment on the neck will make it feel awesome

00000 grade wire wool should do the trick.

Watch out for grade, it can be misleading.    00000 colron or B&Q specials are nowhere near as fine as 0000 from Liberon 

Edit: this pic shows from left to right 0000 and 00000 from Colron  and 0000 Liberon.

Cripes! I may have been applying the briwax with the equivalent of a brillo pad. I'm tempted to go over the top again with some of the Liberon 0000.

Although I'm not sure if I can face taking her apart again - especially as I'm happy with how she sounds now.
