cole Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I was wondering if anybody knows of a supplier that has nitro lacquer that doesn't have the additives that the behlens instrument lacquer has to keep the finish from checking?

Mattia Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 why, if you don't mind me asking? All insturment-grade nitro lacquers have some plastifiers in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not certain, but I believe the regular Behlen's Qualacq is without the anti-checking additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 If you're using a spray rig, I think McFadden's is what you're looking for. If you want rattlecans, try Reranch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I do vintage restoration and some clients like the checking when I do a refinish and as thin as I spray the finish it doesn't always check so easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
