Behlen's vinyl sealer is pretty much perfect undercoat, especially for finishing acoustic instruments. While it is nitro-cellulose, it is not as glossy and the scratches do not turn white and obvious. Stringed Instrument Lacquer Aerosol S tringed Instrument Lacquer in aerosol is an exact copy of Behlen Instrument Lacquer sold in quarts and gallons. Formulated to produce a superior finish on thin, flexible veneers such as those used on stringed musical instruments. Behlen Qualalaque is an interesting product also. Stringed Instrument Lacquer finish has better resistance to cold-checking and scuffs than standard furniture lacquer. It can go on as fast as 20 minutes in between coats or you can wait for weeks and it still come out just as well.īehlen's makes awesome products and their stringed instrument lacquer is by far the best hi-gloss nitro you can get. I do custom painting projects, guitar painting, airbrushing, spray can painting, wood working. Nitrocellulose lacquer in this respect is the easiest to work with, provided you have adequate ventilation and equipment. Hey guys I'm Brad, and I make how-to videos. You get similar deal with waterborne lacquers and even to some degree with original minwax (mineral spirit based polyurethane) if waiting long periods between coats. Behlen Stringed Instrument Lacquer is a high quality nitrocellulose lacquer specifically designed for wooden stringed instruments. This can cause "witness lines" (where you see different layers of lacquer if looking closely as each layer is its own layer and not part of the previous layer).


Acrylic Lacquer does not burn-in as good as nitro.
