Blackdog Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi there, I have finished my first finishing job with proper spraying equipment. I am very satisfied with the results. Still I have a question for the EU members… For these guitars I used the only product I could find with "nitro" in it's name: Clou Holzlack. I bought it from Germany along it's specific thinner. Apparently, nitro lacquers are not sold in The Netherlands anymore (only in rattle-cans). It is advertised as Nitro-based, combination lacquer, whatever that means. I can't say it behaves any different from the nitro-lacquer rattle cans I have used before, a new coat melts into the previous, and it is the same product sold as nitrocellulose lacquer by a local guitar parts/supplies vendor (Vox Humana NL). But does anyone know a little more about this product and what it really is ?? The main difference I notice from the nitro rattle cans is that it seems to cure much faster. Just a week has passed and even pressing my nose to the finish I can't smell any solvent any more. It took a good three weeks to the rattle-can finish to get to this stage. Any info at all ? Thanks.
