I'd use just one so you can match the tone throughout. If you are painting, just choose the best grade (no voids, no fill). Hi friend According to what I gather, the material might not be able to satisfy the demands for weight and cost factors. It is best to choose a single material grade without any voids or fill for painting purposes in order to preserve uniformity in tone.networth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This alteration might have implications for the vessel's structural integrity and stability. freefirename Quote Link to post Share on other sites
