Towards the end I might polish for the top for 20 minutes, let it sit for 4 days, then polish again for 20 minutes.

Thanks for the reply there about the FP. As ever this forum provides a source of education!
I didn't know that a finish could take 3 weeks, I can understand why luthiers favour lacquer finishes!
Great progress on the guitar, I've been meaning to head to TAMCO if your guitar is there when I make the journey to Brighton I will definitely play it!
