I find myself 4 coats short of McFaddens for a guitar and would like to use Mohawk. Anyone have any problems? |

Haans, this just happened to me about a month ago. I put 3 coats of Behlens over Mcfaddens. So far no problems, rubbed out and buffed just fine. Chuck |

Haans, the common wisdom is that Behlens/Mohawk musical instrument lacquer (that is the one you are talking about, yes?) is a bit softer than McFaddens. So it should not be a problem, although of course switching brands in the middle is to be avoided if possible. |

If you can get some seagrave(sold by LMI) it's the same formula as mc fadden. |

Thanks guys! Howard, I don't like doing it but it's for my mini-bimbo, so it ain't goin' out the door. Mark, I'm not much into spending $63./gal when I just ordered 2 gal Mohawk for $68 incl shipping... |

It will work fine Haans. I put Mohawk over Mcfaddens a couple years during one of McFaddens first financial hiccups. |

Thanks Woody! I figured it would work as long as I didn't let the finish dry for weeks before spraying the Mohawk. Not so keen on Seagrave's since the price went through the roof. |
