ColorTone Waterbase Lacquer

Clear gloss topcoat
A crystal clear, acrylic waterbase lacquer that has 100% burn-in between coats without a time limit. That makes it repairable, much like nitrocellulose lacquer. It is a thermoplastic resin and will shrink and move around with the heat of buffing. 25-30% of the final finish thickness should be lacquer topcoats.

Instructions
 
One can goes a long way!
1 quart will topcoat 1 acoustic body and neck.
1 quart will topcoat 3 entire mandolins.
1 quart will topcoat 2 to 3 solid guitar or bass bodies.
1 quart will topcoat 3 to 5 electric guitar or bass necks.
1 quart will topcoat 5 to 6 ukuleles.
1 quart will topcoat 3 to 4 dulcimers.
1 quart will topcoat 4 to 5 banjo rims and necks.
Keep in mind there are many application variables: your spray gun adjustments, PSI used, how heavy the coats are applied, number of coats, and desired thickness on your instrument.

ColorTone® Waterbase Guitar Lacquers have been formulated to give a clear, hard, easy to apply, easy to repair alternative to current solvent finish choices. The ColorTone waterbase product line includes stains, pigments, grain filler, sanding sealer, clear gloss topcoat and retarder. These materials can be used together exclusively, or used under and on top of many other products, such as shellac or lacquer.
