Behlen Behkol Solvent

Read 3 Reviews

Write a Review

Behlen’s high grade denatured alcohol has several important roles in the guitar shop:

Mix Behkol™ with our ColorTone Liquid Stains, for colors that won’t raise the wood grain.
It’s the solvent for shellac flakes, and works with mineral oil and shellac for traditional French polishing.
It’s alcohol lamp fuel, for melting lacquer touchup sticks and heating a disassembly knife.
It’s a great degreaser for metal parts and cleans oil from new tools, too.

Works great

I purchased some of this after watching Bryan Galloup use it to remove blushing from a guitar body after steaming off the neck. I was pleased to find that the Behkol removed the blushing just like in the video.

Cuts well

Good solvent for mixing shellac but do not use over lacquer finishes as a cleaner.
