The time-tested Lawrence-McFadden formula

Seagrave Nitrocellulose Spraying Lacquer


Read 24 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Sadly, after 135 years the venerable Lawrence-McFadden Company is gone, but happily their legendary nitrocellulose lacquer formula lives on, now under the Seagrave brand. A long-time favorite of guitarmakers including Martin, Fender, Collings, Santa Cruz and Benedetto, it produces a durable, easy-to-spray traditional finish with a beautiful gloss.

Instructions
Seagrave/McFadden lacquer can be sprayed with or without thinning, for fast build-up in multiple coats. It sprays well with practically any gun, and can be polished and buffed after as little as seven days curing time.

This professional lacquer is compatible with our ColorTone Liquid Stains, ColorTone Liquid Pigments, and Timbermate Grain Filler. It's designed for spraying on wood that has been sealed with Seagrave Vinyl Sealer, or on unfinished wood. If thinning is desired, add Seagrave Thinner.

One can goes a long way!
One quart will finish:
1 acoustic guitar body and neck
2 complete mandolins
2-3 solid guitar or bass bodies
3-5 electric guitar or bass necks
4 ukuleles
2-3 dulcimers
2-3 banjo rims and necks

Keep in mind there are many application variables: your spray gun adjustments, PSI used, and the number and thickness of your finish coats.

Lacquer products are flammable! They cannot be shipped outside the USA, nor shipped by air within the USA. Nitrocellulose lacquer products should not be used with acrylic lacquers.

good for a first timer

Used this with the black stain mixed in to finish my tele build. It polished up great with the compound stewmac sells. Going to buy it for next build.

Spray Nitro

great stuff, expensive , but it works great, east to apply, dries quickly and seems pretty hard. I used this on a solid body bass and it sounds great. I give it 2 big snaps up

Great Lacquer

I am a first time builder with minimal woodworking experience. I bought most of my supplies from StewMac including this lacquer. I sprayed it with a $50 gun and a small compressor. I thinned it 75/25 (lacquer/thinner) and it went on really nice! No runs, drips or sags. I still had to wet-sand but that is expected with any spraying. I followed StewMac's instructions and ended up with a really great finish! My guitar looks better than all my factory models! Such a deep, classy finish.

Good Stuff

I tried to get some quality lacquer locally but the best I could find was Deft. A serious mistake. Restripped the guitar and bought this product. More money yes, but it sprayed on nice and laid down well. Sprayed about 16 coats thinning about 20%. After letting sit for 8 days I wet sanded lightly with 600 then 1200 and buffed. Wha la! A nice hard deep finish.

nitro finish

this is a good product if you want a light finish or for repair work.but the cheaper behlen nitro works as good and is thicker for building up a good base on new guitar builds.the only reason i didnt give this a five star rating was its price.

Excellent lacquer.

I'm no veteran luthier, but this is some great stuff. Easy to color, thin/mix. Sprays flawlessly.

2200 Seagrave Lacquer

As we all know.. great stuff !! How about putting it in Gallon cans and bring the price down to earth !!! I used to get it from Mcfadden for a fraction of what you charge.

Formulation

I was glad when Seagrave took over the production of the McFadden Nitro. Although the formula is the same, it seems to spray and flow better. Especially when Used, unthinned, for a tight fill on open grained wood.
