Flem thanks for the info I just ordered some vinyl sealer, I'm going to use it as a base coat in conjunction with the pre cat lacquer sounds pretty water proof seal it sounds a lot easer then the conversion varnish !

I just got this in the mail I will try it out this week end , Im learning a lot about finishes on the guitar makers forums , this as a base coat toped with pre cat laquer is supposed to be a really tuff water proof finish , I was going to buy the liquid and spray both but the pre cat lacquers have exasperation shelf life so the rattle cans are more economical !

Got the other part of the finish today hope to get both on this week end , sounds like this stuff should be a durable hunting finish, will see !

I really like this vinyl sealer here is two thin coats the grain is starting to pop this stuff has a strong chemical smell real strong like breathing acetone moved it out side but drys incredibly fast !

Im waiting for the preverbal paint to dry so figured I would post this is 4 coats vinyl sealer scuff sanded 320 grit & 1 coat Pre cat lacquer !

Well it was Flem that made me aware of it Chris ,cant take credit but its pretty user freindly not cheap but looks great, I will have to see how it wares I have friends that use the pre cat lacquer solo and swear by it the vinyl sealer really water proofs it ,I like it , the only down side is it exspires so you need to purchase close to use !

Here it is after resting over night this finish feels like a hard matte egg shell is on the bow

I'm trying the same finish with toner for the bamboo backed bow next !
