faekildare Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I tried doing the material finish with spray cans nitrocellulose lacquer but it cant seem to harden rock hard, like those guitars that are from factories. Anyone has any idea how to get it harden that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kammo1 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Sadly it will never ever harden like a polyester or polyurethane finish as the polys are a 2K based product which hardens by a chemical addition ie the catalyst or activator and nitro cures by air. To be brutally honest I cannot think why anyone still uses nitro as its a piss thin poor finish and not resistant to nothing! There are absolutely excellent products on the market like AC lacquers and polys thaat put on correctly and flatted out will give you excellent results ie gloss and durability, I switched over to chemically hardened finishes about 9 years ago if not more because of the headache and poor results obtained with nitro and single pack acrylics. Search the net there is a multitude of products out there and find one that suits you, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
