My T-40 needed a full restore. So that’s what I’ve been doing. I have everything together ready to go back together. All I need to do is refinish the body. What is the finish to use on my T-40? I’ve read in a Peavey forum, That Chip Todd the designer of the T-60 and the T-40. Recommended to use Johnson paste wax (floor wax) to refinish my T-40. Here’s a couple of pictures of my T-40. Thé first picture is after the sanding. The second one is the way I received her.
Thank you… I wish I didn’t have to sell her. I would love to keep her. Especially after everything that I’ve learned about the Peavey T-40 basses. I want to open up a pickup. Just to see how it is wound. Again thank you!
I too love T-40s (and T-20s and T-45s!). I ha know idea about using Johnson’s paste wax. On a side note, they’re no longer making the stuff and pruices for it are insane.
No, it’s only S.C. Johnson, they no longer offer their paste wax.
In all honesty, I’m pretty sure that Minwax offers a paste wax that is probably just a good as S.C Johnson’s. Then again, old habits die hard. I’ve used this stuff on metal surfaces for years.
