## Overview

Mohawk Stringed Instrument Lacquer Aerosol is a 13-ounce nitrocellulose lacquer spray designed exclusively for wooden stringed instruments. It offers a durable, mirror-like finish that accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of wood. For best results, it must be applied over a vinyl sealer to ensure optimal film build and finish quality. Ideal for DIY musicians and luthiers seeking professional-grade results without the need for expensive spray equipment.

## Description

Mohawk’s famed Classic Stringed Instrument Lacquer is now formatted for an aerosol can. This high quality nitrocellulose lacquer is specifically designed for wooden stringed instruments. It 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 vinyl sealer in order to ensure its unique film building and special finish characteristics.

Review: Not Bad for Rattle Can - Does what it's supposed to do. I used this on an OM model acoustic guitar I built. It took just under two cans total for about 16-19 coats. I'd recommend 12 coats minimum. I ended up with a higher coat count because I burned through the finish while polish sanding and I had to go back and redo some sections. You're getting my best estimate coat count there as if I did the whole thing. Follow the directions on the can very carefully and be patient. It's easy to create runs and if you spray more than about 3 coats at a time without letting it rest between you'll end up with a mess. Recommend applying this at room temperature or a little higher. Colder temps will slow drying and make it easier to get runs. Too cold, and you're into finish defects etc. The nozzle can pick up small goobers of lacquer after a lot of use. Start spraying off your piece to knock the goobers off before you move to your piece. STRONGLY recommend use of a full respirator and safety goggles even if you're spraying the back yard. 3M makes a number of half respirators with replacement cartridges. Be sure to seal the cartridges in an airtight container when you're done to prolong their life. You will need to level and buff the finish when you're done like any other lacquer. I strongly recommend wet sanding with Micro Mesh if you aren't lucky enough to have a buffing wheel. Even by hand you can get up to a mirror finish without too much elbow work. If you were fortunate enough to not have any runs, start with a higher grit. It's easy to burn through the finish with anything less than 1000. And even 1000 I'd be careful. For rattle can - really impressed and happy with my results. Doesn't top a real spray gun setup, but we can't all be lucky enough to have one and this will do you in a pinch.
Review: Worked great, did not cover as much as expected - I bought this to finish the soundboard of a harp I'm building. The can recommended 9-12 coats, but I didn't get that far with one can, which surprised me because the soundboard isn't that big. To be fair, I had some issues that required me to sand down and rebuild a couple small spots, so maybe I used up a lot more for that than I thought. I ordered another can and should be good from here. First, I applied the Mohawk vinyl sealer . Both products were great and made my bare aircraft birch soundboard very vibrant looking. I painted a design between the vinyl and lacquer with a water-based paint/stain and it looks great.

### ⭐ Use it immediately if at all
*by M***3 on March 14, 2025*

I build guitars. I made one coat on the top then started on the sides and it clogged up. I soaked the tip in lacquer thinner and it's still stopped up. The return date has passed in January. Oh well
