1L Anti-bloom thinners

We stock a wide range of high quality nitrocellulose lacquers and paints suitable for use on any guitar project.
We’ve produced a range of colours found on popular guitar models and used our own Strat and Tele bodies for reference. 

This is the same type of lacquer as used on vintage Fender and Gibson guitars which, over time, will produce an aged, tarnished look to your instrument. These are true lacquers, as used by top guitar makers since the 1950s. They dry very quickly and produce a hard glassy finish, unlike other “pre-cat” lacquers

Geat thinners for use with nitate dope

I discovered this brand of thinners online. I am using the thinners for thinning nitrate shrinkinking dope for use on model aircraft covering. It works extremely
well with no signs of blushing and gives a superb finish. 10/10 !!!!!!!!!!!

Anti bloom thinners

Very pleased with my nitro from Northwest, great shades of amber and tabaco, the anti bloom certainly does what I says on the tin!

Good thinner

I watched a video by Dan Erlewine describing the use of flash coats and nitro, and I bought this product to achieve similar results on an Eastman semi acoustic I modified.

I'm using an airbrush gun and not a large spray gun, and so far I had decent results. It's difficult to spray nitro with the pressures I can achieve with my small compressor, but at least I had no issues with bloom.

All in all it's a good product, I just need to master it the way I learned to use polyurethane and water based stains and varnish.

Many thanks
Ludo

Newby oops

The lacquer is amazing... But I need to cover an entire guitar & it dries almost as fast as I pour it out & thin it! I also didn't realize it's supposed to be sprayed on. So, I'm thinking what I have even more & probably will need to order a spray can of it.
