Watco 63041 Lacquer Clear Wood Finish, Quart, Gloss Clear

Easy to work with

Just open the can and start using

Used it on a Taylor guitar that the finish got ruined on has 3 coats now giving it 10 days to cure before buffing out . A friend of mine "Catch" owns "Sawyer Guitars" company and is doing the work for me and Watco is the brand he recommended for my guitar . He has built guitars for many big stars like Billy Gibbons and many more .

Product came with nice shipping package.

Made my outside table shine! Took them a slight shade darker even though it's clear. After a few heavy rains it seems to be disappearing in some spots. I sanded first and used 2 coats. (Tables are on a covered porch but still gets some some and rain during down pours.) Maybe I should have applied more coats?

I have built and finished seven Tele-Style guitars in the last seven years. I have used four different brands of Nitro Lacquer. Thought I would try the Watco brand as the price is less. It it is a "brushing lacquer" not sure why? It can definitely be sprayed and it sprays just as nice as any lacquer I have ever used. You will need to thin it. How much to thin can vary with what you are using to spray it with. I am using Preval Spray system purchaed from Amazon works great. I thin 65/35 and lay down 10 to 15 very light coats. One hour between very light coats. I have obtained excellent results with this method the key being very light coats no heavy or wet coats. The pics I have uploaded are a cerused finish on a Paulownia wood body and have not been buffed and polished yet.

Used as a top coat on guitars this product sprays and lays down well thinned 50%. At 75F and 45% RH its dry to handle in 20 minutes and sandable in 45 minutes. Gloss is just ok as sprayed. I have yet to try polishing

Love all Watch line. Lays down well
