ColorTone Aerosol Guitar Lacquer, Clear Vinyl Sealer, 13 Ounce Can (3884)
<p><b>The easiest way to spray a professional finish!</b></p><p>ColorTone® Aerosol Guitar Lacquer produces a beautiful traditional nitrocellulose lacquer finish, without elaborate spray equipment, and is formulated especially for musical instruments. Fast-drying and resistant to alcohol and water, it produces a hard, durable finish that enhances the beauty of the wood.</p><p>ColorTone lacquers can be applied over smooth bare wood, sanded basecoats of grain filler, ColorTone Sanding Sealer, and over ColorTone Stains. Perfect for touch-up work, or for finishing an entire instrument.</p><p><b>ColorTone Sealers</b> have a high solids content and provide excellent adhesion for lacquer topcoats. For opaque finishes, refinishing projects or oily woods, choose the moisture-resistant <b>Vinyl Sealer</b> for the basecoats. For spraying a transparent finish, we recommend Sanding Sealer (sold separately) as a base, followed with ColorTone lacquer.</p><p>ColorTone Sealers are flexible and compatible with many different finish types. Do not exceed more than 2 coats of sealer.</p><p>13-ounce spray can.</p><p><b>How many cans do you need?</b></p><p>Electric guitar neck: 2 to 3 cans lacquer (no sealer needed)</p><p>Solid body electric: 1 can sealer + 3 to 4 cans lacquer</p><p>Acoustic or archtop guitar: 1 can sealer + 4 to 6 cans lacquer</p><p>Mandolin or dulcimer: 1 can sealer + 3 to 4 cans lacquer</p><p>Banjo rim and neck: 1 can sealer + 3 to 4 cans lacquer</p><p>Ukulele: 1 can sealer + 2 to 3 cans lacquer</p><p>Number of cans needed may vary depending on how heavy the coats are applied, number of coats, and desired thickness on your instrument.</p><p><b>Use warm lacquer, not cold!</b> Pro shops spray heated lacquer because cold lacquer spatters, requiring extra sanding. You should warm up your aerosol lacquer too, simply soak them in a sink of warm tap water. We recommend spraying multiple thin coats, in a low humidity environment.</p>
