Bmth Builder Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Hey I just read that if you leave plastic in contact with nitro lacquer for more than a few hours they will both start to go soft and stick to each other, and so why are we using plastic for our truss rod covers, cavity covers, pup covers, pup rings etc etc arnt they damaging the finish on our made and bought nitro guitars?

ihocky2 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Depends on the type of plastic. And usually it is more common for types of rubber to cause problems then plastic. And even then it takes more than a few hours. Quote
John Abbett Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 .. And if you spray a very light fine coat first, it will harden in a few seconds. It won't be a problem after that. If you spary a heavy first coat, it takes a while for the inside of the coat to harden and it will soften some plastics. I sprayed a guitar with a clear coat on the painted portion that when I sprayed the top with nitro, it melted the plastic type clear. The fix it easy, spray a light coat first. -john Quote
