Sanding sealer raw alder Stratocaster body

The body I received proved not to be properly sealed, as witnessed when I applied primer, whereupon the wood immediately showed raised grain. As a result I ended up having to apply way more nitro primer than I should have to (two cans) and cut back to get a workable flat surface.

Additionally, while the body seemed reasonable quality (a bit rougher than Hosco's, especially around the routs), the wood itself was of insufficient quality to carry a clear finish, with mismatched pieces showing ugly grain inclusions. Perfectly good for solid coat though.

Won't be buying this again as it doesn't save any work and cost me extra nitro.
