Waiting for the Paint to Dry

Lacquer finishes take time as coat after coat is applied, sanded, applied, sanded; you get the point. I have now applied at least ten coats of lacquer and a few coats of aerosol sealer from Behlen and available at woodworking stores. The tented lacquer is McFadden’s nitrocellulose spray lacquer from LMII suppliers in Windsor, CA.

These pictures give a pretty good comparison from the intense yellow undercoated body and the nearly finished more subtle golden color. The mahogany back and neck have also had the same finish treatment and it looks terrific.

On this blog, it looks like your guitar and your kayak are the same color. Wow!
