GUITAR FINISHING KIT

Experienced and beginning luthiers alike can create a professional guitar finish with the Behlen Guitar Finishing kit.
No spray equipment is required.
The kit is built around 4 aerosols: Vinyl Sealer, Starcast Amber Toner, Encore Brown Toner, and Stringed Instrument Lacquer. Vinyl Sealer starts the finish with a strong but flexible base. The two toners allow you to create a variety of color combinations by using one or the other or a combination of the two. For example, Starcast Amber can be used to give a light golden tone to the wood. The Encore Brown can then be used to create a dark sunburst at the edge. Follow that with a heavy application of Starcast Amber over the deep brown edge and a few inches in towards the center to create a sunburst with a striking red glow flaring inward. The Stringed Instrument Lacquer topcoat is a tough yet flexible finish that resists cold checking (also available in quarts and gallons). After the Stringed Instrument Lacquer is dried and cured, use the rubbing compounds we've included to rub the finish to a mirror-like, high gloss sheen. Finally, use the Fingerboard Oil to put the perfect finish on the fretboard. Then stand back and admire your guitar!

STRINGED INSTRUMENT FINISHES |
Vinyl Sealer
Vinyl develops an excellent moisture barrier for the wood substrate, and provides a good base for all Behlen lacquer finishes. Vinyl Sealer is offered in a ready to use formulation that needs no further reduction or catalyst.
Note: Vinyl Sealer may be applied over raw wood
or filled and stained substrates.

Vinyl Sealer Aerosol
Vinyl Sealer Aerosol is a flexible, high solids, moisture resistant, clear sealer with good atomization. It lays a perfect foundation for Stringed Instrument Lacquer. It’s also a great sealer for any Behlen topcoat whether being used for spot repairs or or an entire finish. When used in conjunction with pre-catalyzed lacquer aerosols, the combination creates a moisture resistant finish suitable for spot repairs on kitchen and bath cabinets.

Stringed Instrument Lacquer
Stringed Instrument Lacquer is a high quality nitrocellulose lacquer specifically designed for wooden stringed instruments. Stringed Instrument Lacquer allows for the special expansion and contraction that occurs due to the unique construction of stringed instruments.
NOTE: Stringed Instrument Lacquer must be applied over Behlen Vinyl Sealer in order to assure its unique film building and special finish characteristics.

Stringed Instrument Lacquer ('SIL') Aerosol
Stringed Instrument Lacquer aerosol, uses the same formula as our 'SIL' packaged in quarts and gallons. 'SIL' is formulated specifically as a high quality finish on thin, flexible tonewoods such as those used in stringed instruments. Instrument Lacquer is made to withstand the expansion and contraction that is characteristic in the unique construction of stringed instruments.
Note: Vinyl Sealer is flexible by nature and therefore, it is the only sealer that should be used under Behlen Stringed Instrument Lacquer. This combination yields excellent sound quality. -- UPS Ground Only -

Fingerboard Oil
Use when building new instruments or to revitalize scuffed and dry or worn fingerboards. Penetrates unfinished wood and dries hard. Does not become tacky when exposed to heat. Fingerboard Oil is ideal for preserving the feel and appearance of woods such as rosewood, ebony and similar woods used on stringed instrument fingerboards. As the original application wears, it can easily be repaired with additional applications of the oil.
