guitar2005 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I learned through experience to avoid mixing finish types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theodoropoulos Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 have you tried the same and experienced something abnormal or bad??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliemc Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 As far as I know, Fender have done this. Poly sealer laid on very thick & then a nitro top coat over it. Id have tt look it up to find out which models, but I think it was most of their nitro finished models over the past 5 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFly Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 worst comes to worst, you can try on a scrap piece and see what happens. In my experience, lacquer and poly do not bond well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fliski Guitars Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Nitro over poly is fine. Just scuff the poly surface with 320 first for proper adhesion then wait 30 days for the nitro to cure before you wetsand and buff. Do a couple of light misting coats first before you do the full coats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
