Ok, ,it is now over 2 years since you did that very nice job with nitro.......any cracking or checking of this finish these days ? Thanks for posting
rhykko77 2 months ago
@rhykko77 No cracking or checking yet...but It hasn't been exposed to any wide temperature variations. It is starting to get some normal playing wear like some very minor marks in the clear etc. which actually looks good because it was just too damn nice after the refin. It is actually looking better with age!

@markophonic Yes nitro finishes do look better with age. These days I have replaced nitro with KTM-9 or Target M6000 . Both are waterbased "lacquers"
The word lacquer means almost nothing these days. I am also very fond of Tru Oil finishing for the most natural look.

@rhykko77 I haven't tried any of the waterbased stuff but I've done some gun stocks and a couple Ukelele's with Tru Oil. .I'll have to look into the KTM-9 and Target M6000. Thanks!

Fantastic! I too have a Tobacco faded that's not too great. Did you also stain it with dark dye to bring out the flame more or you didn't have to? I'm about to refinish mine and I'm confused with that part..
All the best,

@catthan I initially wet the entire surface with some water and wipe it off, this allows the stain to absorb evenly. Then I wiped on a mixture of stain that was slightly darker (tobacco stain) and wiped it off...I did this several times to help the curly flame maple "pop" out. Later i started to wipe on and off my vintage amber/tobacco stain mixture and added coats until I had a color I was satisfied with. Finished it off with some nitrocellulose laquer.
