AlGeeEater Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 , but if you started with lacquer and don't want to sand it off, finish with lacquer. I ended up sanding the guitar back as i wasn't happy withthe finishanyway - I got a wired bubbly issue when left in the sun (this was rattle can laquer onto of vinyl so maybe a wierd combo reaction). I think I'll use poly then - OUTSIDE I'm now looking to cover the front with a veneer so lets see what happens. ← Sorry for what I said earlier, I was just a dick, The nitro laquer will react with the vinyl, there is a page on frets.com dedicated to vinyl being your enemy. ← Really? I've used Vinyl sealer under nitro lacquer with no problems ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkielad Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I looked back last night at exactly what I'd done and the bubbles weren't where the vinyl was! So it can't be that - I spray car laquer (out of a gun not rattlecan) over vinyl on bikes all the time so I know it isn't that either. Maybe I got something on the urface between coats? I dunno but it's stressed me out because I can't get my guitar done for a while now and it wasn't far off done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Vinyl being the enemy has diddly to do with 'vinyl sealer', everything to do with odd plastic/vinyl/mystery material coatings on guitar stands, straps, etc, which CAN affect finishes.

Mickguard Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'd say the 'leaving it out in the sun' bit was all it took to get things all bubbly...what were you thinking? Anyway, aren't those bubbles supposed to go away over time, if you're patient enough to let them evaporate out, that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I used 2 pack industrial poly without a respirator, I'm still good. I'm just having to take a week or so off while my throat recovers. ← The problem is that alto your head and throat might feel good a week after, the cancer creating particles don't leave your body but just stay there accumulating with time. Now, there are people that had smoked forever, (George Burns) to mention somebody atleast famous, and still lived a long life, but there again are the ones that might get exposed once and develope cancer. Study a bit more and do some research, it's your life and you do as you please... So in the end is up to you. And I think that a forced respirator is the way to go, but I still see a lot of professional painters, mainly on TV, that are spraying with a charcoal respirator... I don't know if they got a downdraft exhaust set up, and the fumes never get higer than the gun, so I think that it is better to use one of those than not use anything at all.

chunkielad Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I put it in the shop front to set up (just happens it's like a greenhouse!) and the sun sat gleaming on it so maybe it's just me being stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
