mushy the shroom Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Hey, I'm looking to do an oil stain (light natural) on this beautiful maple top and lacewood back, and I was wondering if all natural oil stains are compatable with that Stew Mac spray on Nitrocellulose lacquer. And what are the best types of oil for this purpose? I have some old Danish oil, but I am not sure if it will work. Any help is appreciated. Quote
butnut Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 I've used Watco Danish oil under lacquer with great results. Just follow the directions on the can exactly and let it dry properly. On my final oil application, I use 400 wet/dry paper, the slurry fills pores/grain nicely and could actually be a final finish...but the lacquer will give it a nice gloss and durability. Quote
mushy the shroom Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Posted September 16, 2004 (edited) HAH! Watco is exactly what I have. Thanks for the tips and fast reply! Oh, but what about sanding sealer? Edited September 16, 2004 by mushy the shroom Quote
