Sethmetal Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I'm just full of questions today. What kind of lacquer should I use to mix with my stew mac dyes???

Jack in the Box?....mmmm foooooood gotta go, -Seth mmmmmmmmmmmm foooooood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snork Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 hm..... well the dyes from stew mac are either water soluble or alchohol soluble if you mean directly mixing to dissolve the dye a lacquers not for that. but as for a good laquer brand im not sure one will pop up im sure.

westhemann Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 yeah the dyes will mix with solvent laquers(like nitrocellulose) i mix them with shellac and use that as a glaze coat,then topcoat with clear laquer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethmetal Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I'm sorry I didn't even make myself clear. I want to do a glaze coat. I guess shellac could work. What about a water-based lacquer. That way I would have more to use for the topcoat. By the way... How would a yellow glaze coat on the edges of a blue stained body look? I assume it would turn green....correct??? Thanks-Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
