jlarremore Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I was consulted on an interesting project last weekend. A kid wants to strip a teacher's guitar down, paint it white and have his students sign it then put a protective coat on it. Time was of the essence. he asked my advice and I said, sand lightly, rattle can paint, sand, sign, then use a poly to coat the guitar. Remember time was REALLY important. He didn't have time to wait a month for lacquer to cure. The question going over in my head all this time has been, why don't we use poly to seal a guitar? It sure would cut down on the polishing later on and be a much more protective coating. Jef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattharris75 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Some people do. Keeps the nitro from sinking back into the grain as it ages. I'm having that done to a guitar as we speak, in fact. BTW, this topic shouldn't be in the 'in progress and finished work' section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
