paintingrookie Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hi, Help urgent I need to clearcoat an electric 5 string violin by christmas.( due to production stopping due to a heart attack) I intend to use a fast curing floor varnish from Ronseal. Uk folks will know the name. It is a water based poly and can be recoated in 1 1/2 hours, and will be hard enough to walk on in 12 hours. Has anyone any idea how I can buff this to a high gloss finish quickly. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 If you're the one who had the heart attack, I think you should heed the warning signs and let the stress go. Anyone who has had a heart attack, the word 'urgent' should not be part of their vocabulary any longer. Nobody will kill themselves if they don't get an electric violin by Christmas. Having said that, I hope you find a way to get it done, but don't get all freaky over it. Stress kills, that is a cold hard fact, and finishing usually takes time and patience to do a great job of it, the two don't seem to be a good match at the moment with 3 days to go until Christmas. What if something goes wrong with the finish, you get a bubble in it or something and have to redo it? That happens a lot with finishing, especially when you're in a hurry, at least it does to me. I hope, if it's possible, you decide to call this person and tell them they will have to wait awhile if they want it done right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
