Well, lucky for me the weather here in N. Texas has been really sunny, but not too hot. Using a roll of masking tape as a pedestal, I have been leaving the body out on my shed for the last three days, flipping it over every day. Not counting this morning it has about 10 hours on each side. Not sure how long it will take, but I would like it to fade just a bit so that when I leave the trem guard off you will be able to see the fade. Also, it seems to be drying out the nitro.
