Any body use it on an instrument? I just got a quart of it at Ace hardware for $3. |

I've done several solidbodies with Watco through the years. Never a problem! |

I've heard good things about it on several forums. I need to check the hardware stores, lol. That's a great price. I've only looked at Lowes. They have Deft in quart and gallon, but it's brushing lacquer, at around $10 a quart. I think it's time I looked around at the local hardware stores and see what I can see. Thanks for the idea! |

Was it a close out? It usually goes for around $15 a quart. |

Ace had a close out sale on some items. I should have picked up the other quart. I also got a tight little Case knife for $3! |

I've thinned Watco brushing lacquer and sprayed it. It seemed to work fine. I don't know if it has enough plasticizers for acoustics though. Lowe's has brushing lacquer for $26 a gallon. I've sprayed it on cabinet parts, and have been thinking about using it for guitar necks. This might be a way to save a few bucks over the long run. Does anyone see a problem with doing this? |
