| Post subject: | Water Based Lacquer Advice |
I've just been given by my friendly luthier a bottle of water based lacquer, his supplier sent it to him as a sample, it's a bottle labeled Water Based High Solids Self Cross-Linking Lacquer Gloss, Mylands is his supplier, there is no directions on the bottle and the website just says 5% dilution with water max. It's an opaque white liquid that smells faintly like pear drop sweets. I'm guessing it needs spraying using a largish nozzle size. he only touches in repairs and has to sends out full spray jobs due to living in a basement flat and is concerned about neighbours, so has no use for it any ideas guys? Tips on nozzle size, pressure etc would be gratefully reiceved Thanks |

I've been spraying KTM-9 using a Devilbiss Finishline 2 HVLP gun, 1.4mm tip, compressor set at 40psi and dropping the pressure a bit more at the gun. I thinned the lacquer a bit with denatured alcohol rather than water on the last one, and was pretty satisfied with the results. |

Joe there seems a few discrepancies between the product described in your link and the one on Mylands website http://www.mylands.co.uk/products/wood_ ... based_scl/ most notably the coverage thanks for the nozzle and pressure advice guess its just have a go now. |
