I have a tough time with that. You might be able to sabotage your plan with one incompatible ingredient, but all you need is one to fumble your efforts. If you are not sure it does, you should get a can and try it on an existing surface. As I have seen things work well together, I have also seen a clear coat turn to alligator skin in seconds due to some unknown Please accept this as a helping hand.
My knowledge of the matter is limited. In general, I prefer a gloss-lacquer finish, which is rubbed down for the satin ribbon effect.
I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but if you have to ask, you might want to rethink your project. However, if you are spraying on raw wood and you want to get a smooth, professional finish, it's an option. If it's an open wound, you want to fill the pores The wood should be a grain wood such as mahogany or ash. The art of that is in itself a challenging one. When the door is When grain wood is used, such as maple, there is no need for pore filler. Having removed all the sanding marks, you'd then want to clean up the surface with something like naphthaline, hit it with sand and paint. Wet/dry sand (400 grit to 2000 grit, then Menzerna compound when buffing wheel). Apply the sealer (I do 3 to 4 coats), let it set for a day, sand that back, and repeat the washing. If you do that, you will get a nice high The finish has a gloss.
Instruments are the primary target market for this product. In the case of building a new guitar or finishing a project guitar, I would recommend going with Aerosol Laquer. However, I don't claim to be an expert, but I think standard grade furniture laquer cracks more easily over time and isn't quite as flexible as Lacquers tend not to handle changes in weather well because wood expands and shrinks in response to changes in temperature. There are cracks in them. A substantial reduction of that effect can be achieved with this stuff. This stuff is fantastic. I've used it on all my guitar projects and it works Any other product would not be used unless it was designed specifically for musical instruments

I say "most" since I haven't tried all of them, even though they are few in number. My experience with nitro is limited to the guitar reRanch and Ohio Valley Nitro brand. Both of these have caused a bit of splatter and inconsistent consistency from one can to another. Not so much that I can't bear to look, but enough to make me Neither I nor a space to store a pro spray rig is necessary for me as a hobbyist builder and guitar refinisher. It's a godsend to have aerosol cans, even if they require a bit of patience and a bit more technique. There's something weird about Behlen lacquer since it seems to spray a thicker coat, which may drive you nuts if you're impatient, since it needs a little longer to cure before sanding or applying build layers. The logic I have may be wrong, but I find it logical. The benefit of this of course is that you'll be able to build coats I've been using two cans and have not found any splatter and the coats themselves seem to be more gel-like than a regular spray coat Perhaps the thicker saturation of each coat explains why the effect is like that. As my only experience with the Behlen has been over the past two weeks, I cannot speak to its durability. Although it's not the easiest to use, I do think the application is of high quality and easy to use As long as I am not convinced otherwise, I will clearcoat.
Buy the best, but be sure to follow the While you need to be patient, this is the best- there are others, but this is our favorite - Lacquer for instruments sold to consumers in aerosol cans. The process of applying everything goes better with more space between applications, and by soaking the cans in warm water for 15 minutes before spraying, you can reduce the frequency of There are particularly nasty fumes that are given off by the lacquer, so ventilation is necessary.
I really admire the work you've done. This might be the only aerosol laquer that you can believe in. It has been working for me without any problems for the two times I've used it. The one thing I would like to see is that Behlen would offer the option of switching out the circular spray valve on top for a fanned spray valve. It would be great if that were true.
This Nitro Spray comes in a can, so it's convenient. Throw out the spray nozzle that comes with it and replace it with one that puts out a much higher volume of water. I would think that they would bring it along for the cost of this.
This was just used on the body of an old beat up Fender. The spraying procedure was easy to do and I am very satisfied with the product and will most definitely use it again. I still need to sand it evenly, but I am very pleased with the product and will most definitely use it again.
I love the finish that I get on the wooden flutes This product dries rapidly into an extremely hard, clear surface that is easy to use. Running and drips can be a concern but are not a problem if the layer is thin and the technique is utilized properly. In my opinion, this product is a much better alternative than any other I have used before.
I can see myself in my guitar after sanding it down to 3k grit. It is a pleasure to work with within two weeks of the final coat, straight out of the rattle can. I think this is the best honest finish, let this cure for a month and you will be proud of you're work with 3K grit wet sand as it will take you into eternity. There is no other stuff like this. Behlen, you did a great job!.
Old guitars were painted with real lacquer, just as this spray is.
